Christmas Party We are planning to have a little Christmas party on the last Friday in December. We would love to have parents come join us and help. We haven't decided on morning or afternoon as we are planning it with our other grade one class. We would like to do a gift exchange in our classroom. Please wrap and send a pair of fun Christmas socks. We will watch a movie in our new socks! 

Food Bank Thank you for sending your paper bags with food for the food bank! If you have not done so, there is still time! Even if you are only able to send one item please do because it shows your child that they are part of a community of givers. 

Christmas Books I have a big selection of Christmas story books in my classroom and I would like to share them with your families. I will send a new book each day, read it, enjoy it and send it back! Please take care of these books as they belong to me.

Weather It is cold outside! Please send your child with mittens, a toque, ski pants and warm coat every day! Please label all items that you send!
