What's New in One and Two? - December 21 - 22, 2015

I pray that all of you may have a joyous Christmas and a blessed New Year in 2016!

I have a number of photos to share with you as we wind up this last week of school for 2015.

Here is a photo of the "Owls" singing their "Hoo, Hoo, Hoo" song from the Christmas concert.

Last week we made Christmas cards for seniors living at River Park Gardens.

We made "Give Lists" of things that we would like to give to others for Christmas and a wreath made out of paper hands.  A flashlight (Jesus is our light) was our 4th item in the Chapel Backpack for this month. The letters and the wreath are posted on the hallway bulletin board.

We are having a VERY busy last few days of school.  Today we had our Talent Show and a number of students from our class shared their amazing talents.  We had a scientist, a dancer, a dance trio, a soccer player, a comic and an artist.

 

 

In the afternoon we went outside for our Winter Sports Events.

CHRISTMAS HAMPERS

Our class would like to make up a hamper for one family for the Christmas Cheer Board this week. Each child should have brought home a green piece of paper with a few food items listed on it.  Please send these food items to school this week.  If you are not able to bring these items to school, please let me know and I will make other arrangements.  We are also looking for a gift for each of the children in our hamper family.  If you are interested in sending a gift, please e-mail me or there is a sign-up sheet outside of our classroom door.  Our family has a 6 month old boy and a 6 year old girl. Lastly, we are looking for school family who would like to deliver our hamper next weekend.  Please let me know if your family would like to help out with this activity. 

Thank you for your continued support.





BOXTOWN
Our class built an amazing community last week called BOXTOWN.  The children were very busy and excited to build this community.  We had a police station, a HUGE hospital, a Tim Horton's, a swimming pool, a dentist office, a McDonald's, a Sky Zone, and many other creative buildings.



PAINTED PORTRAITS
In case you did not get a chance to see and guess who the portraits were that each child painted of themselves, here are photos of "Who is Who in Grade One and Two".
