With the holidays approaching we are going to be celebrating with a spirit week. Everyday will have a different theme and all students are encouraged to have fun dressing up each day. Here are the themes for each day this week:
Monday: Red and Green Day
Tuesday: Crazy Sock Day
Wednesday: Ugly/ Silly Sweater Day
Thursday: PJ Day

4 More days to go!

(Just a reminder there is no school for students on Friday)

Maps

Hello families,

During our Inquiry on our community we began looking at maps and landmarks. We learned that maps show different places and help us to get around a new place. We also learned that maps have things like titles, keys, and compasses to help people understand and read the map.

This week we made maps of our community that included our houses, parks, and different landmarks around the neighborhood.

We also went on a scavenger hunt around the school with our Grade 3 buddies to learn more about our school community!

The countdown is on

Hello families,

The countdown to our winter concert is on with only 3 more sleeps left until the big night (Thursday December 12th). Just a reminder that there is a daytime performance at 1:00pm and an evening performance at 6:30pm. Students are asked to be in their classrooms by 6:00pm to ensure everyone is ready (and you all get good seats).

We have been learning about 2D shapes and working on naming and creating them. Today we started brainstorming ideas for pictures we could make using many different 2D shapes.

We have also been doing some independent writing about our favourite animals!

Winter Concert Invitation

Hello families,

The Grade Ones have all been busy practicing for our upcoming Winter Concert where we will be performing the musical TOYS! An invitation went home today inviting you all to attend our concert on Thursday December 12th at 6:30pm.
We ask parents to have their child to their classrooms by 6:00pm in order for us to get ready (and so you can find a good seat).

There is also a Dress Rehearsal at 1:00pm in the afternoon. Parents are welcome to attend the afternoon performance if they are unable to attend in the evening.

We hope to see you all there!
