Last Post Before the Break

 Hello Room 15 families!

This may be the last post before the break, but it is still full of lots of important information (and some of what the students worked on last week) so be sure to read to the end. 

Homework- Homework for this week/the first week back has been posted. I would like to emphasize that this is NOT homework for the break. It is intended to be for this week and/or the first week back at school (no homework will be posted on January 2nd), depending on how you can best fit it into your schedule. The break should be spent having fun with family, making memories, and not stressing about schoolwork. Read with your children, make it a family bonding time, to maintain reading throughout the year. 

Social Studies/Art- Our class did a guided drawing of a lighthouse on a cliff, and then painted it. The paintings showed the geography, economy, and natural resources of Meteghan. Ask your child what details they included to show those features in their art!

Writing- Students finished our unit on walking stories (stories that describe things and events) and shared some of their work with their classmates

I can't wait to have fun this coming week! We will be sharing magnet projects, finishing our Meteghan culture unit in Social Studies, incorporating winter activities into math, carolling, doing art, and enjoying our final week together before the break. 

Monday- Formal Christmas Clothes (for students who celebrate Christmas as a cultural celebration)
Tuesday- Casual Christmas light colours
Wednesday- All library books due back!; Casual hats! (Elf hats, antlers, Santa hats, etc.)
Thursday- Fun lunch; Casual Christmas sweaters
Friday- PJ Day 

Homework, Healthy Hunger, and More!

Hello parents! There are lots of quick information items to share so please read everything below. I am, as always, available via email if you have any questions or concerns before the winter break. 

Homework- Last week's homework will continue into this week. Magnet projects are due on Friday, along with the other homework. That is also when we will have our last spelling test before the break. New this year, students will be given some homework to complete between December 12th and January 7th. I would like to emphasize that the break should be a time for quality family time and a chance for students to unwind. Therefore, please try to work on homework on school days only. 

Healthy Hunger- Our final fun lunch will be on Thursday, December 16th. It is viaCibo. Please order online on the healthy hunger website before the deadline. 

Food Bank Donations- LRD is collecting non-perishable food items for the food bank. If you would like to make a donation, please send your child with the item to give to me. Please make sure the item is brand new and something that will not go bad (eg. cereal, crackers, pasta, soup, etc.)
