**To bring your $5.00 for the Chinese Food Lunch before Friday noon**

Monday 15 December 2014

Outing is cancelled...




Unfortunately, due to a change in the swimming scheduling, there is no longer a public swim open at the Kinsmen Sportsplex from 1-4pm. We will brainstorm tomorrow to decided what is it that we will do for a reward.

My sincere apologies,

Mme Rogers

FLA - Christmas Letter to Reading Buddy et vocabulaire
As classes wind up for the holidays, we will look at a review of how to write a friendly letter. We will practice this skill by writing a friendly Holiday letter to our reading buddies in Mme Burnham's grade 2 class. We then give the letters to them on Thursday.

We will also be working on Christmas themed vocabulary and French speaking activities.

ELA - Figurative Language/Vocabulary
We will be working on Figurative Language using a Christmas theme.

Math - Integers/Order of operations
TEST! There will be a unit test on Thursday December 18th. To prepare for the test, students will be starting a review a Tuesday. The review should be completed for homework so that we can look at correcting and clearing up any confusion on Wednesday.

Sciences Humaines - Geography
We will be looking at how the holidays are celebrated all around the world. I will give the students a Mini-Research project to do this week.

Let's celebrate our accomplishments!



At the beginning of the school year, my students and I agreed on a monthly challenge. This challenge includes wasting AS LITTLE time as possible during each school day. Our class is allotted 1 minute per school day of wasted time, that ends up being 20 minutes per month. We all agreed that 20 minutes of wasted time per month is PLENTY!

I challenge them to stay under that 20 minutes and they have done so EVERY month so far! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

In previous months, we have all celebrated together in a potluck/movie/games afternoon. This month, the grade 7 & 8's came together and decided to have our reward afternoon combined with our holiday celebration.

Below is our itinerary for Friday December 19th:

AM - Holiday movie of their choice...if you have any movies that you would be willing to lend to our class, that would be greatly appreciated!

Lunch - Lunch has been generously offered to us by the National Café. Adrianna Stadnyk's grandfather has agreed to deliver piping hot Chinese food for our class at a minimal charge of $5.00
**Please send $5.00 with your child on Friday, December 19th.**

PM - During the afternoon, we all agreed that we would walk to the Kinsmen Sportsplex and go swimming. The cost is fully covered by Palliser Heights School. Those not wanting to swim, may sit out with me and play board games in the viewing area of the pool.

I will be sending home permission slips to be signed tomorrow. Please return them with your child or email me permission confirmation by Thursday, December 18th.

Should you have ANY questions regarding ANY information, please feel free to email me at rogers.tiffany@prairiesouth.ca.


HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Mme Rogers
