An advent calendar with Christmas customs from around the world…
Do your parents or grandparents celebrate Christmas customs from somewhere else in the world where they’ve lived?

ohmigoodness, are you as excited as I am Division 9?! Over the next couple weeks room 203 will be transforming into a bit of a winter wonderland in anticipation for the BEST MONTH OF THE YEAR!!
Tune in here to see the daily additions to your home away from home as I do a 10 day countdown to December!

I hope everyone had a tons of fun yesterday out and about with your family and friends!! On Saturday, we visited a local community centre and participated in lots of fun Halloween activities before going to our friends’ house to carve our pumpkins. On Sunday, Kennedy, Ava & I went to the house of Kennedy’s best friend, Frankie! We took some pictures and then went Trick or Treating around the spooky neighbourhood houses.

I hope everyone had a tons of fun on Saturday with your family and/or friends!! I missed seeing everyone at school in their costumes, but I hope you all had fun celebrating with your friends. Kennedy & I went for a short Trick or Treating around the spooky neighbourhood houses of my friend Fiona and her son, Nolan. It was so cool to see everybody’s creativity in handing out candy during covid. All of the houses we visited had candy chutes from either their balcony or front door, people throwing candy off of balconies, tables with pre packaged candy bags or they were using long tongs to hand out their candy to trick or treaters.

Jingle’s last week with us had her doing aerobics on our disco ball, giving herself a makeover, taking a ride on Rudolph, gliding on a zip line and playing Tic Tac Toe with our classroom stuffies! I sure hope she was proud of our behaviour these past 3 weeks and will give us a thumbs up to Santa!
