Holidays are almost here...

Dear parents and guardians,

I apologize for not adding anything on the blog last Friday as I was quite sick. I can't believe it's the end of December already! I would like to thank you all for your care and support during these past four months. I have really enjoyed working with the kids and the community. I also want to thank you all for your generous gifts. I will be shopping and enjoying the treats over the holidays.

Thank you to all the parents for sending the treats. We had a great party yesterday. A special thank you to Christine for coordinating with all the parents.

In January, we'll be working on Addition and Subtraction. Please practise addition and subtraction questions over the holidays if you have some free time. There are many apps and websites that have numeracy related games. In language, we've been working on procedural writing. We'll continue that in January. We'll also reflect back on 2013 and write our resolutions for 2014.

Thanks again for everything and enjoy the holidays. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all and your families.

Mrs. Aziz

Field Trip to The Century Schoolhouse - Grade 3 
Grade 3 students of Room 3 and 8 will be going on another field trip on Wed, January 8, 2014. We'll be going to The Century Schoolhouse. I will be preparing the students during the upcoming weeks, but here is a link that has the information on clothing and lunch.

The Century School House

On Monday, students will receive the permission form. Please return it by December 16th. I need parent volunteers as we'll be taking the TTC again.

Scholastic Order
Please return the scholastic book orders by Monday, Dec. 9. Thanks (I'm sorry for sending them so late.)

Thanks and have a great weekend!

Bulletin Board Display

Our 3D Christmas Tree and Hanukkah Menorah are displayed on the bulletin board. The students made beautiful snowmen ornaments with their family pictures. They also wrote how lucky they were to be part of their families. On our other bulletin board we have displayed our snow globes with students trapped in them. I'm attaching some pictures. I hope you all can have closer look next Thursday when you attend our Holiday Concert.

Turkey Lunch - Gobble Gobble!

This was my first Turkey Lunch and it was A-MA-ZING!!! I really enjoyed seeing so many parents and grandparents working so hard to organize this festive event. The food was delicious. All the students said that they were stuffed and couldn't eat anymore. Thank you for all you do for the students and the teachers. Here are some pictures. Enjoy!

S. Walter Stewart Library Visit

Our visit to the library was a huge success. The students listened to the author while she was sharing her writing experiences as a child and as an adult. They also asked questions about her life as an author and her books. She read us some poems and parts of her books. Thank you to all the parents for helping me on the TTC and at the library. I couldn't have handled 18 kids without your support! Here are some pictures from our visit today.
