Our Nutcracker Visit

Last Friday our class joined most of our school on a trip to Michael J. Fox Theatre to see the Royal City Youth Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker.  We travelled there via school bus.  I was very impressed by how well behaved the class (actually the whole school) was on this trip.  I had a great vantage seat to observe our class while they were watching the show.  I really enjoyed seeing how enthralled they were with the action and the music.  It was a truly spectacular show and a great experience for the students.

Gingerbread Houses

On Friday I sent home a notice about this activity.  The children really enjoy making these candied houses!  Please send in the items on the notice by Friday, Dec. 14th so that I can get things all ready in time.

In addition to the items on the list, if any of you has any empty small sized milk cartons (creamo or whipping cream, as well) could you please rinse them out and send them in with your child?  We used to have a surplus of these but now that we don’t have the milk programme anymore we don’t have as many.

Thanks for your help with this project!

Burnaby Heritage Village Field Trip

On Friday I sent home a notice about this planned trip with Division 6.  It is a great place to visit – especially just before the holidays with all of its decorations.  I am hoping that we have enough drivers for this trip.  Last year we had to cancel our class (this year’s grade 2’s) from the trip due to lack of drivers.  Please fill in the form and return it as soon as you can – but definitely before the due date (Thursday, December 13th).  Thanks!
