Our elf, ' Holly Sophia Twinkle' has been up to mischief and fun in our classroom. She escaped to the library for some excitement! We have enjoyed reading her letters and getting the occasional treat!
Holiday Performance
A big thank you to the students and Mrs Kirk who put on such a great Holiday performance. I hope you had a chance to look at all the great student artwork that was up in the gym and hallways. Even though we haven't had much (any?) snow, it sure felt like the Christmas season on Thursday night!
What is 'HOUR OF CODE'?
This past week, Mr Cann (our wonderful librarian) has been running the 'Hour of Code' sessions during his lunch hour in the computer lab. Students who were interested participated in learning how to create computer code. They watched some videos including one with President Obama (we really need Prime Minister Trudeau to do a video too when he isn't so busy) discussing how children should not just "consume but create" when using computer programs. Interesting!
Here are some of the links and computer coding games our students learned about this week:

Have a wonderful Holiday everyone. Looking forward to 2016!
