Well at least that is the colour our class needs to be wearing for the Christmas Concert on December 19th. The concert date is fast approaching and it is the day the kids have all been working so hard towards. There will be two performances (afternoon and evening) that all students in the school are performing in. If there is any reason that your child will be absent please let us know ASAP. For our costumes Mr. Turpin has asked that students wear as much green as they can including green gloves.
Aside from practicing for the performance our class has been busy ringing in the season. Ms. Dente led the class through a directed drawing of a reindeer (you can see their work above their coat hooks in the room). We have also been reading lots of winter books and discussing our favourite activities to do in the Winter. One of my favourite activities to do is to build gingerbread houses and decorate sugar cookies. On December 21st we will be making/decorating graham cracker houses with our big buddies. A short note was sent home on Friday asking for small nut free candies to be sent to class by Dec 18th so that way the kids will have them to decorate their houses with. We are doing the gingerbread houses in lieu of a class Christmas party however if you are wanting to send something in please reach out to Nancy or myself. A reminder that we are a peanut aware classroom and we now have 16 students in our class.
It has been wonderful learning more about each student with their All About Me bags. The kids are doing a wonderful job telling about the artifacts they are bringing in and why they are special/important to them. When we return from the Winter Break the students can resume bringing a single item for their special helper day. The January special helper calendar will be sent home with your child’s report card on December 20th.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
