Christmas makes me want to dance!

We are into our final week before the Christmas break. This final week of Advent we celebrate love. We celebrate the love of our families and friends as well as the love for our fellow human being by taking care of those who are not as fortunate to have a warm house and a warm meal for Christmas. We also recognize God's love for us by sending us his only Son. 

In Math we continue to explore how to read and use data from simple graphs as well as how to make simple graphs. 

In Language we will be using our listening skills to create a personalized elf drawing as well as to listen for key words and then represent that data in a graph. 

Friday we had the pleasure of listening to stories on the seven sacred teachings of the First Nations people by Daniel Richer an Algonquin elder. 

Mr. Richer demonstrates the Algonquin sing language word for respect.

We also have been reading about the celebration of Christmas around the world. Today we started making heart ornaments from Iceland. 

And we also celebrated by dancing to Christmas songs for some DPA. 

A reminder as well that thisbWednesday we will be doing outdoor gym since the gym is being used for the kinder Christmas concert and practices for the other grades. Make sure that your child comes with extra socks, mitts and clothes since the forecast high is 2 degrees above zero and the snow can get wet.
