5 days of school left!

We have been soooooo BUSY!! Mostly with Christmas excitement looming and Christmas concert practice. We sure hope no one freezes up on stage next week. So between Christmas excitement and dancing we have to admit not much time was spent on picture taking. We are sorry that this blog may be a little on the short side.

Important Info: 
-A message was sent saying concert is Wednesday at 9:30 and at 1pm. We hope to see you there.
-Red and green day and shopping spree are on Tuesday the 15th!

Now for our short but sweet blog...
Some of our students this week decided that they wanted to try to use the boxes and cardboard in our class to create new robot outfits.
We also had a lot of fun decorating our classroom with wintery additions. Creating gingerbread men and super cute snowflakes was a class favourite.
We also read a wonderful story about the candy cane (The Legend of the Candy Cane). This story connected perfectly to learning more about Jesus and the staff that the Shepards used when they visited Jesus. Ask your children about the shape of the famous candy and about the colours and what they mean. We made beautiful candy canes some with our favourite math embedded into the craft. Patterns were used can you see them?
Some of our students continue to really enjoy using the magnetic board to practise letter recognition.
By far the most FUN part of the week was making neat gingerbread houses and rocking horses with our really cool and fun grade 8 friends!! 

Let's enjoy these last few days of school before the break!! Have a wonderful weekend.
