December 16-20

We are only ONE week away from Christmas holidays!  How did that happen already?  We have been fun and festive in Grade One as we have been busy preparing for our concert, crafting presents for our family, reading all sorts of Christmas and Hanukkah stories, doing acts for kindness for others with our Kindess Countdown calendar, and writing our very own versions of the Gingerbread Man.  Let's not forget, our special field trip to SJF where we made snowflakes, read stories and had hot chocolate with our friends from Grade 7!  

Tomorrow is cookie decorating day!  Thank you to the parents who volunteered to bake cookies or help out tomorrow. Students need to bring their decorating supplies to share.  They will be bringing their decorated cookies home to share with friends and family.

Christmas Party
-We will be having a little Christmas party on Thursday, December 19.  You will not need to pack a full lunch for your child as we will be having lots of snacks throughout the day. A big thank you to the families that have signed up to bring snacks.  If it no longer works for you to bring the item you've signed up for, no worries, just please let me know.
