Term 2 Begins

• I hope that everyone received a copy of your child's report card. Please keep the report, and return the attached sheet to comment or state that you seen the card.  I am very proud of everyone's work in First Term and am so excited to see what Term 2 has in store for us.
• A big Thank You to all parents for having Food Orders separated and with the correct change last week, it made a huge difference.
• This is a four day week for the kids with no school on Friday.
• I am sure you have heard your child mention that they are recreating the Nativity scene for the Christmas Concert. So, they do not need a fancy dress or shirt and tie this year. Mrs. Brennan would really like if everyone could dress in character (as much as possible). For example: The angels should wear white, Shepherds and Joseph maybe dark robes, Mary maybe wrapped in a baby blue or white bed sheet, Wisemen - we have some stuff at the school but maybe some extra costume jewelry - necklaces. Thank you for your support here and DON'T stress or search too much for anything- it always comes together just fine.
• Our Poetry Unit has been a huge success. Every child in the room is officially a Poet. They are so creative, some hilarious and others heart warming. We will continue to add to our poetry booklets throughout the year.
• Last week we starting learning about magazines, and began reading the Sports magazine that is a part of the Grade 3 Literacy Place program. We will use this as a spring board to create our own class Christmas magazine. So, don't miss your copy of that when it comes hot of the presses in mid- December. 
• ACC is heading to Charlottetown next Friday (Dec.7th), to see the play the Wizard of Oz. This will be a very exciting experience for the children. Permissions slips will be sent home the first of next week. I have already had some parents volunteer to come along, unfortunately there is only a limited number of seats booked and any extra seats would be going to the K-2 classes where they really need some extra eyes to keep everyone together.
