It's hard to believe that this is our last week at school before the Christmas break. I was very proud of the students' performance last Thursday during the "Our House is a Holiday House" performance.
We have some exciting activities planned this week. On Wednesday, we will be visiting the Big Little Science Centre to learn more about properties and states of matter. Thank you to those parents who volunteered to drive. Please meet in the classroom at 8:20 tomorrow morning. *Please don't forget to send a booster seat with your child*
It will be pyjama day for our class on Thursday. The students will still be going out for recess and lunch, so they need to have warm outer gear if they are wearing their pyjamas underneath. We will be visiting Mrs. Sandhu's class along with Mrs. Steenson's class for a special holiday show on the smartboard. Students are welcome to bring a small snack to share if they wish. Popcorn (that is already popped) is alway popular and easy to share. We will also be finishing up some holiday crafts this week.
On Thursday we will be attending the intermediate band concert in the afternoon. This is always a great performance and a pleasure to watch.
