Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

I just want to take this opportunity to wish a Merry Christmas and happy Holidays to everyone out there - I hope you find time to relax with those who are important to you over the next two weeks. See you in January!

Graph of the Week: Santa edition

Here's our graph of the week. As we posted earlier this week, the students had been writing about whether they believed that Santa Claus is real or not - here are the results!

Bonhommes de neige

Today we had French for three periods in Mrs. Steinhoff's class, and we got to make snowmen. - Jade

In French, we made snowmen. We had to write the colours in French and we had to write in French things that our snowmen had, and make backgrounds. - Jenna

Today we had French, and we went to Mrs. Steinhoff's class. We made snowmen and we had to write in French what the snowmen were wearing. - Erika

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Writing, French, and Science - oh, my!

We had an absolutely action-packed day today! The students did a fantastic job in Writers' Workshop this morning, where they had to state whether or not they agreed with the statement 'Santa Claus is real', and then back up their opinion with their reasons (look for our 'Graph of the Week' in the upcoming days - it'll tell you the results of this!). Later on, we finished off the morning by having French class (again) with Mrs. Steinhoff's Grade 4/5 class. The students have been working in pairs to design a snowman, and describe it using only French. We'll continue working with Mrs. Steinhoff's class on this tomorrow. In the afternoon, we worked on Science, where we did some experiments for our unit on Light (ask your child to explain to you how light travels - that's what we worked on today). Thanks for working so hard today, Room 18!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Christmas writing

Today in writers' workshop, we wrote Christmas stories, and when most of the people were done, we shared our stories. Logan made a story about me coming out of my room in Hello Kitty pajamas, and getting V8 and broccoli and giving it to Santa, stuck in the chimney. - Lexi

 

Today we got to write stories about Christmas, and then we got to share them with the class. We had three options - one was waking up on Christmas morning with Santa stuck in the chimney, another one was an ornament from your Christmas tree falls off and comes to life, and the other one was if you could buy anything, what would you buy for your family. - Evan

 

Today we had Library in the morning, and we watched Charlie Brown Christmas for Music class - it was awesome! - Alexandra

 

 

Concert Day!

Attention parents, grandparents, siblings, uncles, aunts, cousins, friends, neighbours, well-wishers, etc. - the Christmas concert starts tonight at 6:30 PM, and the doors open at 6:00 PM. Come and enjoy the show - the students did a great job at the morning performance today! See you there!

 

 

Almost ready for the Christmas concert!

We spent part of the morning listening to the K-2/3 classes rehearsing for their portion of the Christmas concert, and then the rest of the morning rehearsing for the 3-5 portion of the concert. It is tomorrow, and the students are ready and raring to go! Performances tomorrow are at 9:30 AM and 6:30 PM - make sure you stop by to see the students in action!
