Weekly Update

We had an eventful week this week…snow day, decorating for Christmas, the first week of advent.  It’s hard to believe that there are only two more weeks until the break.

Report Cards Coming Home:  Report cards are coming home today, along with most of the student’s Term One work.  I have kept your child’s writing in their binders – please let me know if you’d like me to make a copy of it and send it home next week.

Grade 4/5 Snowpass Information Letter Coming Home Today!

Sugar Cookie Decorating: On Thursday we will be decorating sugar cookies.  I will be baking cookies and bringing some icing.  Please send some items for decorating next week!

Missions Fundraiser on December 8th:  On December 8th we have the following activities to help raise funds for the missions team.

  • Pay to wear casual.  Bring a donation and wear casual clothes
  • Donuts.  Go onto Munch-A-Lunch to order your special treat (order by Dec.2)

Rube Goldberg Machines:  Next week students will get into pairs, design and build Rube Goldberg Machines.  If you have any cardboard, glue guns/glue and other things your child could use to build, please send to school next week.  We will begin designing and building next Wednesday and will have ONE WEEK to create a beautiful machine!  This will be an exciting week for the students as they attempt to build a machine that has seven steps, three simple machines, and can pop a balloon!
