Christmas Concert Reminders ~ Important

Christmas Concert is this Wednesday evening at 7:00pm.  The choir will start singing at around 6:50pm to begin the evening.

We would like all student in the classroom at 6:30pm.  There is no costume or theme for clothing this year.

Students will stay with us for the entire concert, and can be picked up in the classroom after the evening is done.

We will be having a "Penny Parade" that evening to help raise funds for ANOTHER TRIP TO GLOBE THEATRE!!!!! That's right, we are heading back to Globe Theatre in June to watch Mary Poppins!  Tickets for the items will be on sale before the concert begins, and prizes will be awarded that evening!  The silver collection at the door will also go towards funding our trip!

Thank you in advance for your support!

Skating

On Tuesday, December 16th, Miss K will be taking our class AND the Grade 7 and 8 class to skate all afternoon.  The Grade 7 and 8 students will help tie skates and also help new skaters navigate the ice.

Please send skates for Tuesday afternoon.  If your child would like to play shinny they MUST bring a helmet AND hockey gloves, along with skates and a stick.

RAZ Kid Reports

At the bottom of the RAZ kids note (this went home last week) there was a form to be filled out. If you wish to receive email reports about how your child is doing, please return this form as soon as possible.

Thank you!

Classroom Gift Exchange/Donation

Over the past few years our class, along with the Grade Three and Four class, have decided to not do a classroom gift exchange.  Rather than a gift exchange, we make a donation to a charity.  Last year we donated to the Humane Society, and we would like to carry on this tradition.

We ask that the money that would have normally been spent on a gift exchange, be sent to school so that our 4 classes can make a large donation again this year.  

Participation is voluntary, and we thank you in advance for your kindness and cooperation!

Live Reindeer Camera

This morning our classroom elf, Scout, left us a note to look at the website Reindeercam.com so we checked it out.  We found a barn, with reindeer, and an elf even walks by sometimes.

We were lucky enough to be having snack when SANTA came on!  He fed the reindeer and read a few letters too!

Toronto Dominion Grade One Book Giveaway

Every year our class has been given free books by the TD Bank Group.  The program provides every Grade One student with a free book to take home and share with their family.  Recognizing that we are a Grade One AND Two classroom, we are fortunate to receive books for EACH student in our classroom!

Today your child will bring home their free book called "Doors in the Air" by David Weale and Pierre Pratt.

Please take time to read, share, and discuss this book.

Happy Reading

December Reading Challenge

We have decided that since Home Reading has started, we will not send a December Reading Challenge home for this month.

Please continue to read in silly voices, strange places, and to a variety of people during the month of December!  Thanks!

Word Rings

Just a reminder to keep working away at those word rings.

So much progress is being made ~ congratulations!  Remember to send word rings on your child's helper day so that we can review, and hopefully trade in for a new ring.  If your child is done their word ring and it's not their helper day, please send it to school anyways so we can trade!

Thank you!
