Winter Clothing Winter has arrived! With that, WES is implementing their winter clothing policy that requires all students in grades K 5 to be wearing toques, mittens, winter coats, snow pants and winter boots outside for all recesses. If a student is not wearing all of the above, they will be sent inside by the outside supervisor and their homeroom teacher will be calling home to advise parents of our policy.
Inside Recesses With cold weather possibilities, students should have some sort of inside recess toy / activity to keep them occupied when temperatures are too chilly to go outside and play. Students can bring items and leave them in their lockers for days such as these.
Scholastic Book Orders
Scholastic Book Orders go home on a monthly basis. Ordering from them is optional. December book orders are due on or before December 4th. No late orders will be accepted. Please have your child turn in their money (cheques are preferred) directly to myself. We hope to have book orders in before Christmas, but we cannot be guaranteed this. If you are ordering books as Christmas gifts, please place your order and money inside a sealed envelope and mark it Christmas Gift. When the order comes in, I will call you to come pick up the books so that your child does not see their gift.
Christmas Concert There will be two performances of the grade 3 & 4 Christmas Concert on December 9th and 10th. We are limited in space as far as our audience is concerned. We would appreciate it if 3 Carnegie parents could come out on the evening of the 10th. ALL students must be there both nights so that each performance is equally successful. The evening performances begin at 7:00pm. Students should be there no earlier (or later) than 6:30pm. Parents are asked to pick their child up after our performance, which is scheduled to end at approximately 7:30pm. Please drop off and pick up your child at RF Staples Drama Theatre. We will be meeting in the cafeteria adjacent to the theatre. All students must get picked up after the performances. We cannot send students to the parking lot unless accompanied by a parent. PLEASE ensure you are prompt in picking up your child following the performances. Costumes: All students are asked to dress is in their Sunday best. No specific or special costumes are required.
Christmas Activities The next few weeks will be very busy doing various Christmas Activities within the classroom. Please note that on December 16th, all grade 3 classes will be doing Christmas Crafts from 9:30am 11:45am. Students should bring a grocery bag to bring these crafts home in that day. Also, on December 18th, all grade 3s will be decorating a Candy Christmas Tree. I will be providing each student with an ice cream cone that they will turn upside down and decorate with Royal Icing and candies. Each student is responsible to bring their own piece of cardboard covered in tinfoil. The cardboard should measure approximately 30cm x 30cm. Each student is also responsible for bringing their own candies to decorate their tree with. Candies may include, but are not limited to licorice, smarties, jujubes, etc. Please bring candies that are smaller rather than larger in size.
Christmas Gifts The grade 3s will be making a Christmas gift for their parents at school. I am asking that EACH student bring in 3 cups of rice for their project. If a student has parents living in separate homes and they want to make a gift for both parents, please send 6 cups of rice.
Otherwise, all students will be making only 1 gift to take home. All other supplies will be provided. Also, I am asking that students bring in a medium sized gift bag to bring their gift home in.
Curriculum Updates Math We are in the middle of our unit on addition and subtraction. Please ensure that your child is practicing their basic math facts (addition and subtraction) on a regular basis at home. Language Arts We are in the middle of our novel study James and the Giant Peach. Students have been completing chapter summaries, comprehension questions, and other activities related to our novel. In writing we have been refining our paragraph writing skills. We are also working on using transition words to make our sentences flow together. Social Studies We have just finished our unit on Peru and will be moving on to exploring what life is like in Tunisia. Science We have started our new unit on Hearing and Sound. Students are learning to describe the nature of sound, and demonstrate methods for producing and controlling sound. If you have any questions or need further clarification on anything, please do not hesitate to get in contact with me. Sincerely, Miss Carnegie
