Learning's Fun ~ In Grade One! December 20, 2019

Reminders - Back to school on Monday, January 6, 2020

MERRY CHRISTMAS and a BLESSED NEW YEAR from my family to yours!
Enjoy your winter break.

THANK YOU
Thank you all for helping us make up our classroom Christmas hamper this year and thank you to Megan's family for offering to deliver it to our hamper family.

Thank you for all of the wonderful gifts that I've received this past week.  They were thoughtful, delicious and very much appreciated.

HOME-READING TREE
I am sending home a Christmas tree reading-log for your child to work on over the break.  They can colour in one ornament for each night of home-reading that they do.  Return it to school in January.  If they fill in the whole tree, I do have prizes to give them.   Please do try your best to keep up with the home-reading over the break (I know it's hard).  There is no other homework to do.

We made Christmas cards to give to seniors who are living in a nursing home.

Merry Christmas to our hamper family

CHRISTMAS HAMPER
Last week I sent home a letter explaining how we are organizing our Christmas hamper food.  Each child should have brought home a slip of paper with a few food items listed.  Please bring these items to school as soon as you are able.  (The hampers will get sent out on the last day of school).  We are also asking for $2 from each child so that we can purchase a toy for each of the children in our hamper family.  (I do have a master list in case the slip of paper gets misplaced.😊)
We are also looking to a family who would be interested in delivering the hamper to the hamper family on that last day of school.  Please let me know if you would be able to help us out in this way.  Thanks.

WINTER WEATHER
We go outside for recess everyday.  Please make sure your child is dressed for the cold.  If the temperature (plus wind chill) reaches -30, we will stay inside for recess.
