Hello everyone,
December is here, which means its time for another monthly update from Division 2. Please scroll to the bottom of this post for some very important dates that are coming up this month.
If you would like a sneak-peek at what students in Division 2 will be learning in term 2, please click on the Overviews tab at the top of this page.
At the end of November, all intermediate students attended their first fieldtrip to Michael J. Fox theatre for the first Young People’s Concert of this school year. The musical ensemble, Kutapira, amazed the audience with their percussion ensemble which featured instruments from around the world. For more information about this group, please visit their website. https://www.kutapira.com/
This month’s theme for Social Emotional Learning is Generosity. We will explore this topic through class discussions, read-alouds, and we will put generosity into action by participating in the Burnaby Christmas Bureau’s Angel Project. Each classroom will be purchasing a present for a child who receives support from the Burnaby Christmas Bureau. We are asking for a small donation, $1 or $2 from each student. Please send all cash donations to school by Friday, Dec. 8th. Each classroom teacher will then purchase a gift and place it under the tree.
If your family is interested in purchasing a gift, please visit our Angel Tree, located outside the school office. Select a tag from the tree, purchase a present, attach the tag to the present, and place the present under the tree. All gifts are due back to the school by Thursday, Dec. 14th for pick-up by the Christmas Bureau.
Term 1 report cards will be posted on Wednesday, Dec. 20th. Report cards are posted to MyEd BC. If you have any questions about accessing your child’s report card, please contact the school office. Upon receiving your child’s report card, if you would like to schedule a meeting with me, please contact me via email. I am happy to discuss your child’s progress and next steps.
Looking ahead to the last week of December, there are several fun activities put on by the PAC that will be happening here at school. On Friday, Dec. 15th the Gym will be transformed into a Winter Market and Winter Craft station. Each student will get the opportunity take home a winter craft after shopping at the market.
The PAC will be accepting donations of items for this annual winter market. Donations can be dropped off at the school Gym.
Thank you, in advance, to the Glenwood PAC for making this time of year special for all of the students and staff at Glenwood!
As always, if you have an questions, please contact me via email.
