Good afternoon everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful day! I was
helping out with the JK-Grade 2 Christmas concert again today, so thank you to
Ms. Hayward for taking over the class! Tomorrow is a Day 1 and the first of a few full day Christmas
concert rehearsals. We have had such great success with the clothing drive that
it is being extended into this week. Any unwanted gently used clothes are
greatly appreciated!

We encourage all families to come bundled

put a tremendous amount of work into their performances and kindly ask that all

We look forward to seeing you all there!

students are more than welcome to bring their own. Please do not order hot
lunch for these days as we will be eating lunch at the ski hill – students are
welcome to bring money to purchase food and drink items. Students must ensure
they are dressed in appropriate ski gear; warm socks, long johns with comfy
clothes, snow pants, warm mitts, a face protector and a ski jacket. Please note
that if students chose skiing, they will ski all three times. If students pick
snowboarding, they will snowboard all three times. All students will have to
pass each level before they are granted permission to ski on the big hill, no
matter what their experience. Permission
forms and waivers are due back no

we continued learning about the circulatory system, in particular the heart! We
learned about how the heart works, oxygen-blue blood and oxygen-red blood, and
then completed a ‘heart-y’ words worksheet.
For
the next three weeks, students will be learning about the skeletal system, the
respiratory system and the digestive system. For our summative, students will
be completing a mini-exhibition project. As of now the due date will be towards
