Tonight's Golden Envelope book concentrates on the "ai" sound. If you want to challenge your son or daughter, try to find as many "ai" rhyming words as possible.
Thanks to everyone who sent food bank items today. We'll be collecting items right up until the last day of school, so send non-perishables as often as you'd like.
The students all brought home an angel today. The angels are theirs to keep. In return, the students must complete the "My Angel" sheet in the front pocket of their agendas. They need to choose a theme for their angel - it could be an angel of hockey, or the kitchen, or baby brothers, or reading, or movies, or Christmas .... anything goes. Then they need to write about what their angel does; if it's a hockey angel, it could help them tie skates or score goals or skate like the wind or show good sportsmanship (or sportswomanship, I suppose). If you want, you can even take a photo of the angel in action and attach it to the sheet. The write-ups for the angels are due this Friday. I can't wait to see what everyone will come up with. Have fun!
We dove head first today into rehearsal for the Christmas concert. If today's practise is indicative of how well the class will perform next week, let me say this is one concert you don't want to miss. You're in for a Hallmark moment or two for sure. Everyone looks fantastic! (Girls, if you have a large metal mixing bowl at home, try to remember to bring it to school for tomorrow. We'll need to keep it to practise with until next Thursday's concert.)
I've added a link to a site that has a wide variety of Christmas activities. (FYI: Some of the choices on the site have religious themes; I'm letting you choose which activities you think appropriate for your child.)
