Christmas Hampers: Please bring in all items for our classroom hamper by Friday this week.  I am still looking for someone to deliver the hamper over the weekend or early next week.  If you would be able to do the delivery please let me know.  Thank you to everyone who signed up and already brought in items.

RACK: Please send in pictures/stories of RACKs. Below are the ideas for RACKing that we came up with in class.  Tanner shared a picture of him setting the table.  Another student made a card for a friend.

Science: We have been taking an in depth look at each of the Five Senses.  We have learned about hearing, sight, smell and touch.  We are working on Taste.  We have spoken about how animals use their senses.  We've also covered what happens when we are missing one of our senses.  We have discussed how our senses help us learn about good, bad, and danger around us.

Math: Have you checked out our Christmas trees in the hallway?  Each one is decorated with a different math theme to show you all the different ways we can make a number.

Mrs. McCrea has sent out the details for the upcoming Christmas festivities happening in the school over the next couple of weeks. Please go over them carefully.  If you have questions please let her or myself know.  I'm looking forward to an exciting couple of weeks!

December!

December is going to be such an exciting month!  The students are already buzzing with anticipation for the events to come this month. 

We have been learning about the Advent season in the classroom.  Each week the students will receive a colouring page with the idea that we covered for the week.  They do not need to be sent back to school, they are for you to see what they learning.

Christmas Hamper preparations are underway.  Our class will be putting together a hamper for a family.  The list will be posted/emailed shortly. 

Today we did the Reading Raffle for November home reading.  It sure was exciting!  For December students won't have an official reading log, but they are expected to read as often as possible.  We will have another incentive program for January.

RACKED - Each class in our school will be participating in a service project this year.  Our class is going to be RACKing people during the month of December.  Random Acts of Christmas Kindness is not meant to be any extra work (or cost) for you.  The students are brainstorming ways in which they can show others kindness without expecting anything in return.  They will be given a set of 12 RACK cards to use during December.  I can't wait to see what kind of stories we get as a result of this project.  I'd love to hear feedback from you as the month progresses as well.




A field trip form was sent home today for The Cat in the Hat.  If you are able to join us please let me know ASAP so I can plan out the rides.  Looking forward to it!
