Christmas Concert Coming Fast!

*With Christmas Concert coming up really fast - next Wednesday, the 21st...I am asking your assistance with your son/daughter finding a suitable costume accessory for the role they have in the play, The Twelve Days of Christmas.
At St. Joe's, Grade Sixes traditionally have the most speaking parts in the concert play each year.

*Please keep in mind that we are looking for simple quick costume accessories that give the impression of 'dove' or 'french hen' etc, so small touches (a beak, hat, cape, etc are probably enough.

The characters of Mary and Joseph can be represented with bathrobes/ scarfs,veils, leather strings, sandals, etc

Please send whatever you create/find with your son/daughter to school as soon as possible!

Thanks!

By the way, parents & ,grandparents are welcome to attend either the morning dress rehearsal, starting about 9:30 a.m., or the evening concert, starting at 7:00 p.m.

See you there :)

Tuesday

Math: Study for your test on Tuesday!!

Busy Season

Hello all - so we are all busy with getting the Christmas concert ready. The kids did well on their testing on Thursday and they are able to come and see their marks from me. Those students who were absent are able to make up for it on Thursday. I will have to check if my lunch hour is free that day, if not, then during music class. Health is going well, the presentations are coming along nicely. The props are great. I hope this is an indication of the Christmas concert. The sixes are doing well and until the next posting.

We have working in groups about fire safety. They will have Monday as a last day to practice and we will present on Tuesday.

Welcome to our new blog!

At parent teacher interviews many of you requested information on the assignments, tests and general classroom information. We're still working on a few things but we think this can be a useful tool to get started. So it's important to have a current email that you check regularly submitted to your child's teachers. As well we're hoping that a we can collaborate and have you visit one blog to get the information you need to keep up with assignments and studying.
