What a fantastic concert the kids put on last night! It was great to see all of you there enjoying the festive spirit. :)
This week we did some holiday-themed writing and word work. We continue to work at developing our sentences using description and details and are beginning to use a variety of sentence starters to share our ideas.
Many students shared their family's holiday traditions this week. We enjoyed learning about traditions from Serbia, Hong Kong, India, and Ukraine. If your child has not yet shared your family's tradition, please send me a photo or two of what your family enjoys doing during the holidays as well as a short explanation. It's been interesting to see all the different traditions! Please email me your photo (if you have one) and short explanation to jllarmer@cbe.ab.ca.
If you have not yet returned the signed permission form for your child to eat our "Stone Soup" next Tuesday, please do so on Monday. If I do not receive the signed form, your child will not be able to enjoy the soup, bannock, and butter we will be making as a class to celebrate the Winter Solstice. This is due to concerns around food allergies. If your child's form did not make it home this past week, please email me and I will send home a second copy.
Mrs. McLean, our librarian is requesting that all library books be returned by Thursday as she will be doing inventory. The students will not be taking out a book this week.
