Dear Families,

We had an extraordinarily busy week!  Buddy did some pretty crazy things.  He was hanging on the screen on Monday.  On Tuesday he was up on our word wall.  On Thursday, Buddy slept in the bed that Haylee and Alec made him.  That day was the Winter Concert.  We had a dress rehearsal in the morning.   When we came back from the afternoon concert, he was still sleeping.  He must have been really sleepy!  He left us a note saying he was tired form all his travelling.  Today Buddy was sitting in our mailbox pocket.

This week was our Winter concert.  We had to perform two times, one in the afternoon and one in the evening.  In the afternoon there weren't as many people in the audience as in the evening.  At the evening concert there were snacks-popcorn, penguin pops, and water bottles.  Our Winter Concert went great!

A large box was delivered to our classroom.  No one knew what it was except Mrs Deyoe.  IT WAS A NEW MAILBOX!  Mr. Darr put the new mailboxes together and we replaced our old ones.

We hope you have a great weekend!

P.S. AWESOME week!

To Loved Ones,

We got an Elf on the Shelf, and on the third day he left!  He appeared on December 1.  We kept finding clues like reindeer prints and sleigh tracks.  We think that's how our elf got here.   We read the book and it said "please do not touch me, my magic might go".  Guess what we did?  WE TOUCHED HIM!  He disappeared and went to Room 24.  He wrote a letter to us and he said "please treat people with respect and I may come back".  He also reminded us not to touch him.  Some of us wrote letters to Buddy.  Buddy is our elf.

We learned new math games with Mrs. Page.  They were extremely fun!  Mrs. Page came 2 or 3 times this week.  Before we played our math games, we played "Four Strikes, which is our Math warm up.  If you remember, Mrs. Page is a special Math teacher. She teaches us Math strategies and new Math games.  She works with every classroom.

That's how our week went.

Dear Loved Ones,

We had the best week!  We've been working very hard on our portfolios to show you.  Lots of other amazing things happened too.

We have been writing letters to Santa.  They're turning out great!  We hope to hear back from him soon.

In Music we were practicing our lines without our scripts.  It went excellent!

On Monday we were glazing our masks with all different colours.  This was when Jen returned after our last session.  Jen is the guest artist who taught us how to work with clay.  She had already fired our masks in the kiln, and now she will do it a second time.

We've been practicing reading for parent-teacher conferences.  We each chose one book to read, which we will be reading to you when you come.  We finished working on our portfolios as well.

That's how we ended the best week!

Dear Families,

We had a crazy week, because we had a day we needed to do over.  It was Tuesday.  Luckily, the rest of the week went really well!

Yesterday, we did fitness dodgeball in Gym.  It was A LOT of work!  Fitness dodgeball is when you get hit by a certain colour of dodgeball, you have to do a specific fitness activity.  We also did Art yesterday.  We made a person catching snowflakes with his or her tongue.  After we were finished our people, Mrs. Deyoe took a picture of us with our picture and then we got do a free Art.

In Math we were finding partners to make 10.  We learned a new mental math strategy, it's called "Make 10" or "Partners for 10".  In the game we played, we had to find our partner to 10 silently.  Alec and Haylee ended up being partners twice!  So did Emily and Delaney.

Mrs. Page came in to do Math with us.  Mrs. Page is a teacher who helps with Math.  She said to get a white board and make a big tic-tac-toe grid.  We did 9 different kinds of math questions on each square of the white board.  One of the math questions was how many days are there in a week.  At the end, we solved all the math questions together.

That's how we ended our crazy week!

Catching Snowflakes

Today we worked on a very fitting Art piece for our first winter storm.  We drew a picture of ourselves catching snowflakes, then used oil pastels to colour them in.  They turned out very cute!

Dear Beloved Families,

We had a kind of weird week, because we had three days of school and usually we have five.  However, we had a fun eek. We did TONS of things.  This is what we did.

We had Math and Music.  We had lots of fun!  We practiced our Christmas Concert and we got our lines.  The title is called "How the Penguins Saved Christmas".  It's exciting to practice.

On Tuesday we had our Remembrance Day assembly.  We watched some Remembrance Day videos and sang "O Canada".  The choir and Mrs. Neufeld sang "In Flanders Fields".  We stood for "The Last Post" and we had two minutes of silence.  Every classroom laid a wreath.

Every day we wrote in our journals.  We did a free write.  That means we write whatever we want in our journals, but no pictures!

Every morning Mrs. Deyoe hands out a little sheet and we solve it.  This is our daily Math Journal job.  When we are finished we read quietly on the carpet until the next period starts

We had a very exciting week!
