Christmas is in the air and in the classroom! We have started special Reader's Workshop, Math and Exploration stations. Our theme is Christmas and holiday traditions around the world. If you were interested in providing a food/treat that is from a different country please let me know and we can arrange a date. Some of the ideas we had were mince meat tarts (just mini) from England, mini cinnamon buns from Sweden, gingerbread (Germany), etc.
We had our first owl presentation this morning. As you can see it was pretty cool. We were proud of how much the students from Div. 9 & 10 were able to recall that they knew about owls and how much they learned even today!
Today we had our last RW presentation which was a play. The students did an awesome job making their masks and presenting the play "The Hungry Shark".
Skating - we currently are short drivers and several students have not signed up or paid for skates/helmets please do so asap or we may need to cancel. Drivers please remember you need to have an up to date driver's abstract.
Christmas concert is next Tuesday evening and Wed. afternoon (there are still some tickets available for both concerts). There is also a dress rehearsal on Tuesday morning at 9 which you would be able to attend if it works best with your schedules (it however will be a rehearsal so maybe stopping and starting). Div. 9 & 10 are signing 'Dominic the Donkey'. We have 7 Dominic donkey hats and 7 students volunteered to wear them. These students are: Lexi, Will, Stephen, Charlie, Liberty, Colton, Carter. These students should wear black or grey to match these hats. Dr. Saul had the idea of an Italian Cafe so all the other students can wear black pants, white shirts, black bow ties (if you have them), fedoras (again only if you have them) or dresses.
Pajama Day on Dec. 21st. We will also be having special Fairview hallway reading that morning. Students are encouraged to bring their favourite Christmas book to share with someone. The PAC is also making hot chocolate for everyone after recess.
Our Christmas celebration will be on the afternoon of Friday, Dec. 21. Snacks will be provided by: Fruit Plate - Carter, Veggie Plate - Rhys, Sweet Treat - Kamryn, Popcorn/chips or pretzels - Saga, Other - Stephen. Thank you all in advance!!
Enjoy this Christmas weekend, I heard we might even get some snow.
