PAC Christmas Store

29/11/2017

 
BEST PAC will be sponsoring a Christmas Store next week for the students to purchase small gifts for their family and this is the information I have so far: The store will be open December 5 & 6 at lunch and after school in Room 14. Items will be priced between $.05 & $5.00 and will be colour coded for the younger students. Children are welcome to shop at lunch and after school both days. PAC will help supervise. Primary teachers will be able to take their class through for a "sneak peak" and to buy gifts on December 5 and intermediates on December 6. PAC will assist the students to select and wrap their items in gift bags; teachers will provide supervision.
It is best if your child does their shopping at our class time on December 5 and if you are sending money with your child to pick items up from the Store please deliver it to me in the morning in a labelled bag or envelope with the names of the family members the student is expected to shop for and the amount. I will try to ensure the money is kept safe and will give it to them at the shopping time allotted. Their gifts will be put into their backpacks to be taken home. Please understand that loss of money/ change/ gift items is a possibility but I will do my best.

Skating!

28/11/2017

 
We have been counting down the sleeps until we go skating since last week and most of the kids are excited but some are a bit anxious because they don't know how to skate. We discussed all the things we couldn't do when we started kindergarten and how well we do them now because of all the practicing we do and how its the same with skating. I reminded the kids to bring their helmets and skates, snowpants and mittens (but not hockey sticks) and that there are a few pairs of skates available if they don't have any. I will have the kids put their skates into their backpacks to travel on the bus because they must be in a bag. We should be at the MacArthur Park arena about 10ish if you are coming to join us (yay!). We will be assigned a changing room where we will put on our skates and leave our things. Our ice time starts at 10:15. The children will be encouraged to stay on the ice as long as possible as there is nothing for them to do once they are finished. They may sit on the bench and wait for us (11:15ish) but they may not run around or go on the bleachers. I will not be on skates as it is difficult to help the children with them on but please, if you are a skater, by all means bring your skates.  Looking forward to seeing you at the arena on Thursday!

With all the craziness that happens in the US today (and a bit more every year here in Canada) I thought this post at The Ugly Volvo was particularly appropriate. Enjoy!

Thank you SO SO much for all the donations of baked goods this week for our bake sales in support of our friend Royce's family. They were a huge success and enabled the children to experience being a part of something bigger than themselves. As little people they seldom feel they are able to make a big contribution and make the world a better place for someone else. But as adults we know that what seems like even the tiniest gesture on our part can make a significant difference for someone. Like many things, kindness is a quality that children learn over time and through practice. When kids feel that their help is needed and welcomed, they gain confidence that they have a contribution to make, and they keep on helping. The bake sales this week helped to reinforce all our lessons at home and at school about compassion and being goodhearted. Thank you for making a difference.
  • Don't forget to send the library books back next week and your child will put it in the Library Box on their way in.
  • November Family Projects are due whenever they are completed. December Family Projects are due Tuesday, Dec. 5.
  • Thank you for attending our You Can Count On Me math session in the gym today! 
  • I asked for December Scholastic book orders early (Thursday, Nov. 23) so that if you have ordered some for holiday gifts, you are sure to get them on time. Please let me know if any of your order is a gift and I will set it aside and hand it to you personally rather than sending it home with your child.
  • Mrs. Farber and I have planned a field trip to the Big Little Science Centre on Wednesday, Nov. 29. Permission forms are due Monday, Nov. 27 with $2 for the bus.
  • We will have our first skating trip with Mrs. Weber's class on Thursday, Nov. 30. If your child does not have skates they are welcome to borrow them from the school but the sizes might be off and they are a kijillion years old so not terribly warm or comfortable. 
  • McD's lunch will be delivered Friday, Dec. 1.
  • Report cards will come home with your child on Friday, Dec. 1. Please keep the report and sign and return the envelope to be used for our next reporting period.
  • Our wonderful PAC has sent home another fundraising venture this week. If you would like to order Fresh Is Best, please fill in the form and return it no later than Tuesday, Dec. 5. Orders will be ready for pick up at 8:30 am Wednesday, Dec. 20. 
  • BEST PAC will have a Christmas store where students can come and buy small gifts for their families at recess and lunch December 5 & 6. More information will be sent closer to the date.
  • A pair of new, dark grey snow pants went missing from our classroom at the end of the day two weeks ago. Please return them if you find them at home.
  • November sight words are: at, and, do, from, go, he, she, stop. If a word comes up repeatedly in our studies we will sometimes add it to our words for the month. Please feel free to practice them at home.
  • Please have your child read any little paper books that come home multiple times for practice. Thank you.
Go forth and Be Awesome!​
