The Homepage of Mrs. Goosen
Just a reminder that the students need to bring their baking ingredients to school tomorrow. We want to have everything ready to go for Tuesday morning so please bring the items on Monday. Also, I have one glue gun but I would love another one to help things move along quickly on Tuesday – if you have one we could borrow, please send that as well.
Thanks!

I just had to post this. When the students are done lunch early and can’t go outside yet, things usually get a little rambunctious. Today was so entertaining that I had to post a little video of our fun. 🙂 Enjoy! The game is called, “Hit the Ornament with your Head.”
Here is the schedule of events for next week:
MONDAY: Students should bring in their ingredients (see here for food list) for the cookie jar gifts.
Grade 4-6 Christmas concert is on Monday, December 15th at 7pm. Our class will dress as modern-day angels – no wings or crazy halos, please! Un-ripped jeans and a white shirt are great, but if the students want to get creative (within reason) that is good as well.
THURSDAY: Class Christmas Party: Students should each bring one $5 WRAPPED gift to contribute to our gift exchange game. I will provide the drinks, students should bring a snack to share.
Grade 6 ONLY: Bring along any costumes or props for our Socials Court Room Drama: The Trial of Dayan
FRIDAY: We will be watching the Preschool/Primary Christmas Concert in the morning. DISMISSAL WILL BE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE PERFORMANCE, around 10:30am.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
Right now in Social Studies we have some great learning happening! The grade 5’s are working on research projects about Canadians that have impacted our Canadian culture. They have been using the chrome books and very excitedly sharing the information that they discover about their chosen individual.
The grade 6’s have been practicing a court room drama. We have actors, set & costume designers, a videographer and a photographer. Lots of fun!
Our class uses the chrome books daily and we still have many students who have not brought headphones in. It is essential that students have a pair of headphones to use. Please send them in ASAP.
Thank you.
We have decided that it would be a great idea to bless some people in our school this Christmas. We have chosen five people that help us each and every week! Each table group has chosen a person AND a ‘cookie in a jar’ recipe to make.
We will make the cookies in a jar next Tuesday but would like all of the ingredients at school no later than Monday. I will provide the mason jars, the ribbon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
If anyone has glue guns that we could borrow, please send them along!
Below I have compiled a list of what each student is bringing and they have also written it in their planners. Thank you for helping us bless others this Christmas!

Thank you!
