Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays!

A big thank you to all the parents who took the time to make our Craft Morning a huge success! The kids had such a great morning, the crafts were really interesting and beautiful to make. You definitely gave me some great ideas :)
Also, thank you for all the gifts that I have received over these past few days, including the very generous class gift. I am always so touched by all the lovely cards and words being expressed during this time.
Finally, I want to wish each and every one of you a wonderful Christmas holiday, filled with love, laughter, rest and hopefully some sleep.
See you in 2017!

December is here!

Dear parents and students,

We are officially in countdown mode to the winter break! The classroom is already buzzing with the anticipation and excitement of the holidays. And yet, there is still a lot to be done before then. Here's a sneak peak of upcoming events:
1.  This Thursday we will going on our first field trip. I hope the kids really love it and learn even more about the importance of fitness and making healthy choices.  The children are expected to bring their lunches, a water bottle and appropriate gym attire.  They will be moving and sweaty all day, and need to be properly dressed. Hopefully this will result in a good night's sleep.

2.  Winter concert on the 14th - the kids can be dropped off in our room at 5:30pm. The People of Pinataville should be in colourful, single colour tops with black bottoms.  Sunglasses may also be worn.  Please do not send your child with any hooks or weapons (for pirates) and patches (if they are wearing one) should be on their foreheads. After the show, the students will return to our class to be picked up. 

3. Craft Day on December 19th - Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to help run a station for our kids. They really do enjoy this time of year, and being able to come home with a few homemade crafts makes it that much more festive. Please have your child bring in a labelled shoebox to transport their goodies home on Craft day.

4. Finally, it was great meeting so many of you at parent teacher interviews. I really enjoyed discussing your children with you and talking about how well they have adjusted to the expectations of gr.4.  If you have any questions, or concerns, please do not hesitate to come and speak to me.

Thanks and have a great evening,
Ms. Shklar
