Dear Families,
Well,
winter has arrived and it may be here to stay!
Let’s hope as with this weather comes fun in the snow! I hope
you're keeping warm and cozy, hot chocolate by a fire would be ideal!
Mmm, toasty! Have a beautiful
weekend with your loved ones!
Math:
Math:
Over the next 2 weeks, your child will be learning
about addition and subtraction. We will
relate subtraction to addition, use mental math, estimate, and add and subtract
2-digit numbers. We will be using a
variety of strategies and the goal will be for your child to be able to apply a
strategy to problem solving situations.
Throughout this unit, you and your child can practice some of the
suggested activities from the math note I sent home yesterday J

Morning Show: @ 11:20 a.m.

Our class has been working hard in music classes to prepare for this performance!
Please remind your child to practice singing and playing their recorder
to the song “Silent Night” and “It Feels like Christmas.” It is very
important that they are familiar with the lyrics as they will be singing this
with Mr. Morin on the 13th.
Empathy
Assembly Thurs. Dec. 21st @ 9:15am:
It's an exciting month of performances!
Perhaps your child has already shared with you that our class is leading
the Character Education Assembly for Empathy which will be held at 9:15 am on
Dec, 21st! ALL parents are
encouraged and welcome to attend! Mark it down in your calendars. We have
been diligently rehearsing in class, but I would appreciate also if students
took initiative to practice at home as well so they are familiar with these
lyrics and their parts for the drumming. Thank you in advance for your support.
The Nutcracker:
What a performance yesterday! It was lovely to see some current and former students from our school participate in this show. Well boys and girls!
Making Edible Christmas Trees:
As part of our Procedural writing, we will be making edible Christmas trees in class and we will be writing about it! I will be providing most of the materials for this process, but if you would like, you may wish to have your child bring in some delicious toppings such as sprinkles, gummies, and other tiny sweets to put on their trees. I know they're going to LOVE IT! Please send in toppings in a zip lock baggy with your child on Fri. Dec. 15th.
Mrs. Shaw's Class:

Nottawa's Christmas Post Office:
Mrs. Johnson has once again set up our Nottawa
Christmas Post Office in the library! Doesn’t
it look great!? Thank you for doing this
for our whole school to enjoy! This
week, I gave students the opportunity to think of someone at the school to
write a letter to. They’re had fun doing
this! Some have even received a letter
from a sibling, peer, or friend and to see their reaction when receiving their
note is such a JOY! We will continue
with this letter writing until the Holidays!
Thank you Rachael:
Our class is filled with kind, caring, and compassionate children! I'm truly the blessed one to be my students teacher. On Wednesday, Rachael helped Avraham with his school work and has consistently taken the time to ensure her peers are helped when they need it. She does this all on her own from the goodness of her heart :) Truly remarkable and thank you for being YOU! Have fun in Tremblant next week with your family!Growth Mindset:
Namaste,
Miss Gill
