December 12/19

Hi Everyone,

Christmas is fast approaching and we have been very busy in Divison 10, making special crafts, playing Christmas math games, singing Christmas songs and writing about this wonderful time of the year.

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*I look forward to seeing you all at one of the concerts.  Please see the previous post for ticket information.  Teachers will be opening our classroom doors at 6:15.  Your children will need to remain in the concert line up with you until that time.  Thank you!

*Thank you to the following people for signing up to send in snacks for our class party on Friday, December 20th:

Manjot (Fruit Plate)
Ryanna (Veggie Plate)
Emma (Cheese and Crackers)
Pandora (Sweet Treat)
Levi (Popcorn or Chips)
Students should bring a recess snack and lunch as usual on this day as we will be eating our party snacks later in the day.  Thank you!  Students are also welcome to wear their pyjamas to school that day :)

*Our skating field trip is coming up next Thursday, December 19th.  At this point, I have enough drivers for 6 children to attend and 15/21 people have given permission for their child to go.  Please complete the registration and indicate if you are able to drive by Tuesday, December 17th.  We will  decide at that time whether I need to cancel the field trip or not.  Please remember that you must have a current volunteer driver's abstract on file to drive children other than your own.  If you do plan on driving just your own child, please indicate this when you give permission.

*Please ensure your child has a dry set of clothes at school.  Our district policy is to participate in a  'Westcoast Recess', children will be going outside rain or shine

*The leadership team has moved their bake sale to next Tuesday, December 17th

*Our leadership team is having an Entrepeneur Fair tomorrow, please send money in a clearly marked baggie in the front of your child's planner if you would like your child to purchase something.  We will be going as a class to take a look.  It is also 'Career Day' if your child would like to dress up and participate in this.

*A reminder that next Friday we will have our class party, Pajama Day and Hallway Reading (students can bring a favourite Christmas book)

*Thank you for your support of 'Spirit Week'.  It's been a busy one and our leadership students really appreciate everyone's participation

*Thank you to Mrs. Gigliotti for coming to help me with our craft stations.  Her help is much appreciated!

Thank you,

Amanda Roberts
