PAJAMA DAY TOMORROW! It is also Backwards Lunch Day tomorrow. Students will get to eat their dessert first - so if you are able, please pack a special treat in your child's lunch tomorrow!

LAST DAY OF CLASSES Tomorrow - Winter Break - School Resumes January 3rd

Tuesday, December 14th

Three of the cast members from Dr. Seussical the Musical came to visit our school today! We asked them many wonderful questions and learned a lot about the life of an actor. Ask your child what they learned today!

In math we are working on number sentences and math stories. Have your child create their own number sentence or have them solve one that you invent. (ie. you can use objects from around the home, when out grocery shopping, etc.) example: "If we bought 6 apples and 3 oranges, how many pieces of fruit would we have?"

Reminder: Thursday is Pajama Day!!! It is also our last day of school for the holidays. School will resume January 3rd.

Tomorrow is our field trip! We are off to see Dr. Seussical the Musical! Please make sure your child has a substantial lunch and snack for this day. We will eat "Brunch" around our regular snack time (10:00 am) before we board the buses (10:45 am). When we return to the school, around 1:45, the students will have their snack before recess. The children will be dismissed at their regular dismissal time.
If you are volunteering for the field trip, please arrive at the school by 10:30.

Alien in-line skating also begins this week. If your child has a bike, hockey/skating or snowboarding helmet, please send it, labeled with their name, with your child by Thursday.

On Friday, the cast from Dr. Seussical the Musical is visiting the school. Students will have an opportunity to ask questions of the cast members. We will brainstorm some questions to ask the actors. After the performance on Tuesday, ask your child to tell you about it.

There will be spelling words on Monday and Wednesday (not Tuesday due to Dr. Seussical), with our spelling test on Friday.

On Monday, December 13th, we will have our first annual Artisan Fair. This event runs from 6pm until 8 pm. You are welcome to come and go at any time. Items for purchase range from baked goods to Holiday ornaments to student made books and calendars. We hope you will come and support our fair as all proceeds will go towards the Alberta Children's Hospital and new books for our library!
