Our Week

We have been busy rehearsing for the Christmas concert that is happening on Tuesday, Dec 3 at 6:30. Please drop your child off at the NW door around 6:10 so we can get ourselves organized. Please let me know if your child will not be able to attend the concert. Our dress rehearsal will be at 1:10 that afternoon if you are not able to attend the evening performance. Please let me know if you have any questions. FYI: we will be standing on the west side of the stage for the concert.

When you come, you'll see that the kids have been busy working on art to decorate the gym. It looks wonderful! Here is the project we worked on. Check out the Nov photos for individual photos.

There are a couple more reminders for the week. Wednesday is early dismissal. Also, I will be away at PD on Thursday and Friday (Friday is a PD day, no school for the kids)this week. Mrs. Fleming will be in to teach the kids when I am away on Thursday. I will be learning all about Executive Functioning Skills from Peg Dawson. Library day is Thursday. If you haven't had a chance to pay the community days fee on Powerschool, please do so. Our first special day is coming up soon.

I hope you had a chance to check out some of the photos of our field trip to the Telus World of Science this past week. Thanks to all the parent volunteers who came! I thought the programs we did were great. There was a bit of disappointment as we were not allowed into the Marvel display as it was not included in our fee. I still thought it was a great day!

Here are a few things we will be spending our time on over the next few weeks:

• data analysis and numbers to 100 
• many Christmas reading/writing activities 
• we will study our first community in Canada, Meteghan, Nova Scotia
• magnets
• Christmas art/craft projects 

I will contact the families who signed up to bring food for our Christmas brunch next week. We will do this on the Friday before our Christmas break.

It's going to be a great few weeks of school! I'll see many of you on Tuesday!
