In the New Year, I will be starting knitting club for those students who might be interested. If you have a child that might want to learn, perhaps Santa or a family member might be interested in picking up some 'beginning knitting' tools for Christmas. While I do provide much of the wool from my own stash or donations from friends, I will gratefully accept wool donations throughout the year. Beginning knitters work well with the cheap, colourful acrylic yarns that you can get at any department store. Just make sure it isn't too thin as this is a struggle for a new knitter to manage. Please see this link from last year for ideas: Knitting club: what to buy
Holiday Concert
Thank you to all who attended the Holiday Concert! It was very exciting for the 'Grade Two' students to present their songs to you. If you had a chance to look around the gym, the snowflakes were all done by our students!
Character Traits
In language we have been talking about character traits and how to use them in our writing. Here is an example of our class discussion using the fictional 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' by Dr. Seuss. We have also been learning about letter writing. We used this skill when writing our letters to Santa using e mail. The students were very excited to get their replies. We have learned so much about life at the North Pole!
Have a wonderful and relaxing holiday!
