December 13th

We started today off by looking closely at the list of items from the Holiday Hampers....thinking about which gift we'd like to give most to the women and children at Halton's Women's Place.


Then we went to Mrs. Hayes' Grade 3 class to practise for the concert.

When we got back it was already period 2.  We read a little from the Tale of Desperaux.   Then the kids had their choice to read or write for the remainder of the workshop.

Period 3 I introduced the kids to our next unit in math, time.
We looked at the 2018 calendar:

We talked about a counting by days and weeks.  Some kids need a little extra practise with this.  "Example, what day is 2 weeks after your birthday".

Period 4 Mrs. Smith is teaching science.

Period 5 Mrs. Djonovich is teaching music.

Period 6 we're going to do a giant desk clean out, finish up some work and practise our poem for the musical.

Random Acts of Kindness...to help make dinner? (good luck)

Some things to note:
-Tomorrow is our concert (2:00 PM during the day 6:30 PM at night)
-We have gym, but the gym is unavailable, so we'll be going outside for gym tomorrow....dress appropriately
-Almost everyone has paid, but I'm still missing a few permission forms for our Ireland House trip on Friday
-On Friday, we're leaving right away.  We're going to meet in the front hall, by the office so we can catch the bus right away.  The trip will be indoors the whole time, other than a short walk between buildings ...wear boots, but you probably don't need snow pants!
