The last week before winter holidays

Highlights:
  • This week we had carol singing in the mornings with the entire school. Some of the songs that we sang include: Six White Boomers, The Twelve Days of Christmas, Silent Night, Frosty the Snowman, Holly Jolly Christmas, I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas, Let It Go.

  • We also got to create our ornaments! 
    • First, we started by putting a layer of glue on the foil balls,
    •  Then, we added pieces of colored tissue paper to it. 

  • The next day, we added a second layer to make the color really stand out and ensure there were no foil bits showing. 

  • Here they all are drying! 

  • Afterwards we added decorative elements and then covered it in Mod Podge to make it hard and shiny!


  • Also, on Polar Express day we went to the learning commons where we got yummy hot chocolate and listened to Polar Express story which Mrs. Kidd read to us. A big thank-you to the parent volunteers for coming and helping out. 

  • In gym we got to have a "soft snowball fight" (with socks stuffed with cotton). We also played "Grinch Ball" which was super fun. Then we had gym centers which included volley ball, ringette, hula hoops and soccer practice.

Reminders:
  • Thursday, Dec. 19th is the last day of classes with Mrs. Yoon and before the winter break. 
Have a fantastic winter break and best wishes into the new year!
  • Monday, January 6th is the first day back to classes after the winter holidays! We are very excited to welcome Mrs. Boyer as our teacher for the remainder of the school year! :)
  • Please remember to bring library books back for Monday, Jan. 6th (after holidays).
