Happy Holidays Division Seven!

It is hard to believe that we are only a few days away from Winter Break! It seems like only yesterday that we began our grade five year in September, and now here we are four months later getting ready for the holidays. Everybody has worked so hard this past term to improve their skills and knowledge. Remember that effort equals improvement and that we are all ‘potatoes’, different yet the same. Mrs. Bennett and I are looking forward to helping you learn even more in the New Year and witnessing your ‘Nelson Mandela’ acts of kindness and mindfulness.

During the break, I plan to spend a lot of time with my family and friends. Perhaps I will go to Grouse Mountain for the festivities up there, enjoy the Christmas lights around town, go ice skating, maybe the movies and down to Seattle for a couple of days. I also plan to get plenty of rest and ‘recharge my batteries’ for January. What are your plans for the holidays? What are some traditions that you follow with your family and friends?
