Coming home with your child today is an invitation to our Fete de Noel on Friday afternoon. We put the time of the fete to be at 1:45pm, immediately following the assembly. You are more than welcome to attend the assembly to sing some Christmas carols with us and then join us for the Fete de Noel. I hope to see everyone there on Friday!

le 17-21 decembre
A few notes for this last week before the Christmas Break...
-Library on Monday. Please bring back your books to exchange for new ones for over the break.
-Santa's Workshop is on Wendesday, Dec. 19. If you are able to volunteer, please call the office to let us know. This is a great opportunity for students to get some Christmas shopping done for family members. Items are priced at .25$ - 4$. If you wish to send money prior to Wednesday, please label it with your student's name.
-Home Reading books due back on Friday.
-There will be no dictee on Friday
-Friday afternoon at 1pm we will be having an assembly. Our class will be leading a bilingual version of Vive le vent (Jingle Bells) during the carolling. Following the assembly, our class will have a little Fete de Noel. Feel free to join us for that afternoon.
One final note.. I have already heard from many families who are planning holidays or who will be away for a few days around the break. Please let the office or I know if you know of absences ahead of time. This saves the administrative assistants calling homes of absent students in the mornings. Our last day before the break is Friday, December 21st, and school resumes on Thursday, January 3rd.

Math games, and some other things...
Math Games
This week we have started talking about subtraction, and the relationship between addition and subtraction. I have added some new math games to the list on the right of the blog.
Winter Carnival
Just a reminder that Winter Carnival will be on Thursday, Dec. 13th from 6:30-8:30pm. Join us for cookie decorating, craft, sleigh rides and carolling. Hope to see you there!
Santa's Workshop
A note went home about Santa's Workshop in the last school newsletter. This will run the same as last year, and is a good opportunity for students to come and get some shopping done for family members. Items are priced from 0.25$ to 4$. If students wish to bring money prior to Dec. 19, please send it labelled in a bag for me to hold on to. If any families have new gift items that they wish to donate, please send them to school or drop them off at the main office. Also, if you were able to donate some time to help students shop and wrap their gifts, please contact the main office. Thank you!
Marion Gymnastics
We will be going to Marion Gymnastics on the afternoon of January 11th. I will be looking for 4 or 5 parents who are able to come along and help out on this trip. Volunteers will require a criminal records check, as outlined in newsletters earlier this year. Please contact me if you have any questions or are able to come. Thanks for your support!

Typing game
During our computer period on Mondays this year, we will be publishing some of our work, which includes typing. Today we started a program that can help us to learn the proper way to type so that we can be efficient and effective typists. The website for this program is:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/typing/
If you are practicing with your child, reminding them of proper fingering will help to curb bad typing habits. Thanks, as always, for your support at home.
