Dec 9

Today is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. It usually falls on December 8, but since yesterday was a Sunday in Advent, the Church moved it to the closest date.

We have been practicing really hard for the Christmas concert. Just a reminder that there are two shows on Dec 17. There is a matinee at 1pm and an evening show at 7pm. Please have the students in the classroom by 6:45pm to get ready for showtime.

SNOW ALERT: If there is a snow day (woohoo!) please check the school website or listen to CKNW for school closure news.

SHHHH! IT'S A SURPRISE! Sebastian's parents would like to provide a pizza lunch (cheese and pepperoni from Costco) for our class on Friday for Sebastian's birthday. Please send a snack with your child. If you have any allergy concerns, please send a lunch with your child.

BOOK GIFT EXCHANGE:
The students have been asking if we are going to do a Secret Santa gift exchange. Instead of buying presents for a particular person, I would like to have a book exchange. Please wrap a new or gently used book (picture book or novel that are grade appropriate) and send it with you child by WED. DEC. 18. We will play a game to get books randomly.

Tomorrow Mrs. Baptista is coming to help us celebrate a Pioneer Christmas in the class. She bought a tree for us to decorate with Pioneer style ornaments. We will be decorating and eating cookies so if you have any allergy concerns, please send a treat with your child.
