Highlights of the Day:
This morning began with our editing the morning message for my wacky spelling mistakes! We then had a very special guest, Mrs. Mycroft, who is another interior designer! She talked to us about how designers have to consider the purpose of the things they are designing, so that they can choose the right materials-- it's not all just about how it looks! After recess, we worked a bit more on our secret art projects... In phys. ed., we practiced listening to different music and translating the feelings and "story" of the music with our bodies! After lunch we had our last PoWer Hour sessions! Don't forget to come to the PoWer Hour showcase (running from 4:00-6:00) tomorrow night! We finished the day with some whole school caroling!
Ridge Walk Tomorrow!
Please remember to bring:
- Warm clothes (including snow pants!)
- A quick-and-easy afternoon snack
Please consider bringing:
- A snow cushion (a ziplock bag with a stack of newspapers inside-- so they don't have to sit and sketch in the snow!)
Please and Thank You / Volunteer Opportunities:
- Please consider volunteering for tomorrow's Winter Ridge Walk. We will be leaving the school at 2:00 on Thursday the 17th, returning by 3:00. We are hoping to have at least 4 volunteers.
Seasonal Celebrations:
- Holiday Headgear spirit day is tomorrow! Feel free to wear your favourite holiday or winter hat/hair decoration!
- Whole school Christmas caroling will take place next week. If you would prefer your child not partake, please let me know so I can make an alternate arrangement for them at these times. I will update the blog with caroling times once confirmed, if families want to come join.
- Please consider contributing a healthy snack for our Christmas celebration this Friday, December 18th. Healthy snacks include: fruit, veggies, cheese / meat / pickles, crackers, and one treat would be okay! Please email Jodi if you are interested in sending a snack. Thank you!
