December 2--6

December is here and it certainly feels like Christmas with all of this SNOW!  I LOVE this time of year!  Our calendar is packed with so many fun holiday activities. Please make sure that your child is coming to school dressed for snowy weather.  I'm sure there will be lots of snowman and snowfort building happening at recess.

Field Trip to the Galt Museum
Thank you to our parents who have signed up to help with our field trip to the Galt on Tuesday.  We have lots of help! If you are joining us on the bus, please meet at the classroom at 10:35.  If you are planning to meet us at the Galt, we will see you there at 11:00.

Christmas Concert
-We need your help with costumes!! Each student in our class needs to have an apron and a chef hat for our song.  If you have an apron at home or are able to pick one up from the dollar store, please send it to school labelled with your child's name. (I saw some cute Christmas aprons at the west side Dollarama for $3). We will be making chef hats at school this week. 
-There will be more information sent home this week.  Please don't hesitate to contact myself or Mrs. Sheedy if you have any questions.

Christmas Card Project
-On Thursday, your child brought home a brown envelope with a blank card inside.  Attached was a note about our Christmas card exchange.  Please have your child create a special holiday card for the classmate on the attached letter.  We will exchange cards the week before Christmas!  I would like all cards returned to school on December 13th.  Thanks for your support with this!

Sock It To 'Em
The caretakers and maintenance staff in Lethbridge and area schools are collecting NEW SOCKS to be donated to local charities.  If you would like to donate new socks, please bring them to school by Friday, December 13th.  Thanks for helping to make someone's winter a little warmer.
