Mom Love

After brainstorming all the reasons we love our moms and all the special things they do for us, we created these mini masterpieces to gift to our fabulous moms. I hope all moms had a wonderful day with their families!

Merry Christmas Nelsonites! I hope everyone has had tons of fun over the past week celebrating the holidays & spending time with your friends & families! 148377-Animated-Merry-Christmas-With-SantaIt’s been a nice and relaxing time during Kennedy’s 3rd Christmas. After a quick trip to the aquarium, we jumped onto a ferry to Vancouver Island to stay with Kennedy’s Grandad and Grandma. She’s having lots of fun exploring local beaches and collecting rocks, shells and beach glass. She’s also reading lots of Christmas books and playing with gifts from Santa. Enjoy your 2nd week of winter holidays everyone and I can’t wait to hear about all your celebrations when we return in 2019!

Jingle’s Adventures ~ Week 3

Jingle’s last week with us had her climbing the walls, hanging from zip lines, playing Battleship and gifting us some candy canes! I sure hope she was proud of our behaviour these past 3 weeks and will give us a thumbs up to Santa!

Jingle’s Adventures ~ Week 2

Jingle Returns!!

Santa has been sending Jingle, a friendly scout elf from the North Pole, to Room 203 to watch and report on whether Nelson’s Grade 3s are being naughty or nice! She keeps an eye on who is filling their classmates’ buckets during the month of December. Looks like she’s back and having some fun!
I can’t wait to see who’ll be the first to spy the new spot she’ll be watching from each day! I hope her daily report to Santa includes many acts of kindness that she witnesses in our classroom.
