This week at school, we are busy getting ready for the Christmas concert!

Tomorrow (Tuesday), there is a dress rehearsal in the afternoon for our class and the other classes that perform on Thursday night .  Come to the gym at 1:10 to watch the concert in full.

On Thursday, please have your child in the classroom by 6:45 to get ready for the performance at 7:00.  Students may wear their "fancy" clothes, and no other costume is required.

There will not be a spelling quiz this week.

Thanks a million to the moms who came last Friday to help out with out baking day. It was a great success after all...thanks to Kim, Janet, Sharon and Cheryl for their help!

Have a great week!

This week at school, we have a few fun activities planned.  Tomorrow at 2:00, we will be going to the  museum to visit the Festival of Trees. Parent and siblings are welcome to join our class for this.

On Wednesday at noon, you are welcome to join your student(s) for the Reveillon lunch at the Jasper Activity Centre.  Please remember to pack your dishes, cutlery and cups.  Those students who will not be attending can still go to the lunch room at the school, or can eat at home, as usual.

After Reveillon, at 1:15, Val and Morley Flemming will be coming to our school to lead the students in a Christmas sing-a-long.  You and siblings are welcome to join in!

On Thursday, Madame Stastny is hosting a cookie sale...pack those quarters!

Thanks to all of the parent volunteers who came to the pool last week to help keep order in the change rooms during our swimming lessons!

This Friday after lunch, we will be baking cheddar cheese bear buns.  This is to accompany our learning about bears and hibernation. If there are parent helpers available to assist in the process, please let me know!

Have a great week!

This week at school we are busy with swimming in the mornings (11:15-11:45).  The whole class was prepared today - nice to see!  We will be squeezing our lesson in slightly earlier (11:05..!) so that we can leave the pool sooner and make it back to the school for the lunch bell.  If you are picking your child up at the pool, please try to be there by 11:40.  Thanks to all of the parent helpers that came today to help out in the change rooms!

Friday is a half day to allow for teacher's PD.  Students will be dismissed at the bell.

The special sound of the week is "on", as in the word, "bon".  The action is to make a bridge with your hand to symbolize the bridge that is made by one letter to help the other to cross to the other side of the river.  The words this week are:
1. bonbon - candy
2. ballon - ball
3. onze - eleven
4. non - no!
5. mon - my
6. son -  his/hers, as in "Son crayon - his pencil" or sound, like "le son de la semaine est "on" - the sound of the week is "on".
Jersey Day!
