Hi Everyone!

It looks like a sunny weekend ahead of us.  I hope you all have a chance to get outside and enjoy it!

It is finally time for the children to perform at the Christmas Concert next week.  The students have been working very hard and are still singing the songs with enthusiasm (despite already having sung them dozens of times :)).  It is also the last week of school which means we will be celebrating Christmas together on Friday afternoon.

Concert Reminders
*dress rehearsal 1:00 on Monday (please have your child wear pajamas (or bring a set they can easily slide over their clothes)).
*concert performances for parents are Tuesday and Wednesday, also at 1:00 (you can come to the dress rehearsal if that is the only day you can make it but it will be longer as it is our opportunity to work out any kinks).  Students should also wear/bring pajamas for these performances.  They can also wear a Christmas hat they can dance in (optional).

Party Reminders
*our party will be Friday afternoon (Dec. 19th).  Thanks in advance to Novah (veggie plate), Zackary (cheese and crackers), Kendra (sweet treat) and Geena (popcorn or chips)
*please send a recess snack and lunch as usual as we will be eating our party snacks later in the day
*Friday is also our school wide read (everyone can bring a favourite Christmas book to share) and.....you guessed it!  PAJAMA DAY!!!!

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Hi Everyone,

I hope your weekend is off to a good start.  It was great meeting with all of you this week to discuss your children's progress and set some goals for the upcoming term.  Thank you all for arriving on time and helping keep everything on schedule.  That was much appreciated.

**A big thank you to Jakob's family for donating some books to the class.  They are much appreciated and will be enjoyed.

**The details about the concert are in the previous post (please read if you have not already done so).  We would appreciate it if the children could wear their pajamas on the dress rehearsal date and the concert dates.  Students will be going outside for recess/lunch as usual so if you would prefer your child to change, please send a pair of easy on/off pants.  Thank you!

**Thank you to Karman's mom who brought in Timbits to celebrate the excitement of Karman's new twin cousins :)

**We will be having our class Christmas party the last day of school.  Next week I will post a reminder to those of you who signed up to bring snacks (I am doing this at home and don't have it with me).  Students will still need a lunch that day.

**If anyone has craft supplies such as buttons, pompoms, stickers etc. they would be much appreciated.

Thank you and have a great weekend!

Conferences/Concert

Hi Everyone,

I am looking forward to meeting with you all during conferences Wednesday and Thursday (see the two previous posts for specific information).  Please check the booking site to confirm your time and enter through the front of the school.  You will be spending the 15 minutes you signed up for and the following 15 minutes will be spent with your child and myself setting goals for the upcoming term.  Also, please note that dismissal time on Wednesday is 11:40 (not 11:30 as we were first instructed).  Thank you!

Christmas Concert

Our concert is fast approaching and the students have been working hard to learn their songs.  Our concert dates are Tuesday, December 16th at 1:00 and Wednesday, December 17th at 1:00.  Parents are welcome to come and see all of the performances one of those days.  We also have a dress rehearsal on Monday, December 15th at 1:00 which you can attend if you are unavailable the other days (although it will be longer and messy :)).  For the concert (and dress rehearsal) we would like the children to wear pajamas and Santa hats (or some other festive hat they can dance in).  If you have any questions please come and see me.

**Please note that hats should be sent on/before Monday, December 15th and should be clearly labeled with your child's name.

Thank you,

Amanda Roberts
