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!
