Week of Dec 9th - 13th

lundi le 9 décembre, 2013

Chers familles,

This week our letter is F and f. Our colour is silver (argent). In social studies, students are learning about empathy, kindness and love as we show and share our gratitude towards others who share their time and energy with us. For example, this week we are visiting our local Seniors Home and have created a book with pictures full of winter and holiday joy. It will be presented in a thoughtful way at the end of our visit. In Physical Education (PE) we are exploring some of our favourite activities through centres we are setting up in the gym. They include hockey, elephant feet, balls, hoola hoops and banana cups. We will continue to explore all the gym equipment we have and learn how to use them safely. 

This weeks special events include a walk to our local Seniors Home on Tuesday morning. On Thursday we will be in the gym to find gifts for others at our annual Loonie Emporium. You may want to send your child to school with some extra large bags so they can bring items they purchase home with them. Also, please remember to return the Loonie Emporium envelope back to school on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. We also have a few extra music rehearsals as we learn to walk on and off the risers safely and quietly. 

We hope to see you all next week at our Winter Concert on Wednesday, December 18th from 1-2pm in the Richmond gym.

Take care everyone! Mme Elise
