Letter to the Parents – 9/12/2016

Dear Parents,

Only week until Christmas break – wow ! The students are certainly ready for a break ( and I think we are too 🙂 

The concert was amazing – I was so proud of everyone. It was a special time and a joy to let everyone know that Christmas really is just ‘all about that Baby ! ‘
We will pause our regular learning objectives next week. In Literacy we will read and study a few short Christmas stories. In Social Studies we will explore Christmas around the world.
Don’t forget the class is putting together a care package for a needy family – please send in any items such as wipes, toiletries, cleaning items, non-perishable food items. It is a great way to highlight giving to others to the class. Thanks so much.
The Grade 5 class Christmas party will be on Dec 16th – the last ( half ) day of school. Each child will bring in a food item to share – some suggestions are –
savory snacks
crisps
desserts
cookies ( no nuts please )
drinks
They can dress down on this day.
Also each child has the name of someone to buy a book for.
Thank so much for your continued support so far and I am looking forward to a fun and educational 2017 with my Grade 5 class.
Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas,
