Merry Christmas

Thank you for sending in your traditional recipes and treats for our party. Everyone was given a recipe book as a gift. Enjoy!

We helped package up the Christmas Hampers this week:

Merry Christmas from Lightning

Last Week of 2014

Thank you to everyone that contributed to our classroom hamper. We were able to collect all of the items on the suggested list, plus extras!!

We have finished our family portraits. They are part of our Social Studies unit that covers our families, and traditions.

Grade 2 French

Students put presents underneath our classroom trees using French Christmas vocabulary as the gifts. They are outside our classroom door. Stop by for a peek. 

If you haven't yet completed the Interview with an Elder, or the Family Recipe please do so ASAP.
This week there is spelling homework.  We will do the usual spelling test on Friday morning.

Wednesday - Grade 3 Violin trip - remember a bag lunch, booster seat and a BSLS shirt

Thursday - Please arrive at the Caboto Centre for 5:45pm.  Students should be wearing Christmas clothing (or something nice) with appropriate footwear.  Don't forget your violin!

Friday - We will be having a food sampling party in the afternoon.  Please ensure that items sent to school are peanut and allergy safe.

Christmas Preparations

Christmas Hamper - The sign up sheet for our classroom Christmas hamper is up. Thank you to everyone that has donated items. I am looking for someone to deliver the hamper next week. We also need two gifts. One for a seven year old boy, and one for a 1 year old girl. Also, we could use a few reusable grocery bags to pack the items in.

Grade 3 math students working at estimating numbers to 1000.

Social Studies - After studying family trees we have started talking about family traditions, specifically Christmas traditions. Caleb shared about his Elf on the Shelf tradition. Watch for homework about family traditions coming home this week. 

Christmas Concert

Next week Thursday is our school Christmas concert. Details for the night of the concert were sent out in an email from Mrs. McCrea last week. 

Family trees

December!!

Preparations are well underway for this busy, yet exciting month. We have been talking about preparing our hearts for the coming of the Saviour. This month we will work through Advent devotions that teach the Christmas story.

Family Tree Projects

Wow! They all are fantastic. We were hoping to put them all up but they are so large we may be challenged to do so. Here are pictures from the students who have already completed their presentations. The rest of the presentations will take place this week.
