We have come to the last week of school before Christmas break!  It is amazing how quickly time has gone by!

Here is a snapshot of what we have been working on:

Writing:  We are writing a story about a Christmas tradition or event that has happened at Christmas time.

Science:  We have been learning about force, friction and gravity.

Bible:  Our advent focus last week was on hope. This week we will look at the theme of Joy.

Math:  We began a Christmas multiplication mystery project last week and students will continue working on it this week.

SS – we had our last work block for the super hero project. Groups will present next Thursday. They look AMAZING so far!

Reading – we finished reading Wonder and discussed the theme. We will finish up a few activities in January to complete our novel study.

Art – this week we started a very challenging new art project based off of local BC artist, Dana Irving’s, work. We will continue this into January as we focus on blending, shading, and movement.

We have a few reminders of things coming up this week:

Final Week for Salvation Army:  This is the final week for donations to the Salvation Army.  We are close to reaching our goal of $5,000.  Students can bring money to class or donations can be made online as well.  Thank you for your continued support.

Class Party & White Elephant Gift Exchange on Thursday:  Please send along a $5 wrapped gift for our gift exchange on Thursday.  We will also be watching the Christmas concert and playing some Christmas Minute to Win It games on our final day of school before Christmas break.
