Hello Once again!!
Yes, it has been awhile!! Just a few reminders for the upcoming weeks.
We are enjoying this month and will be doing various activities before we break for the holidays! We have a class tree and the students have enjoyed making ornaments.
~This week the class has a Christmas spelling list~ please be sure to go over these with your child.
~ Grade 4 students should be practicing their times tables every chance they have.

~LA and Math homework are combined this week and will be due back on Monday.
~ We will be having a recipe exchange in our class. Your child will be given a recipe card to bring home. They should write their favourite Christmas recipe on it and bring it back ASAP. It can be for cookies, squres,etc. Anything that they like to eat during the holidays. The class will be exchanging the recipes so it is important that we get one from everyone!

~ The students will soon be drawing names for Secret Santas. During the last week of school before Christmas, they will be exchanging small gifts for 3 days and giving a gift to the classmate whose name they chose. It is to be kept TOP SECRET. They really enjoy the guessing game. The gifts can be homemade items or not costing more than $5. they should be wrapped and they can all be brought into school during the first of the last week~ be sure to ask your child whose name they drew! If your child is unable to participate, please let me know so that we can take care of it so all of the students will recieve gifts when we exchange! I will also be sending home a note about this.

~Our Christmas concert will be on Monday Dec. 15 at 1:00
