Hello Parents,
We had a great time carving pumpkins this Monday! I took some pictures of the hard work the children did to create these awesome pumpkin carvings!
This month we are learning about water, buoyancy, and boats. We will eventually be building our own boats in the classroom. The children are very creative and it would be great if you have any empty containers, cardboard or anything you think could be used to build a boat, please bring it in to help our boat building!
We occasionally go outside for gym class instead of inside the classroom, so please remember to make sure your child has a winter coat, mitts and outdoor shoes or boots.
In December we will be learning about cultural traditions and celebrations and we will be talking about Christmas and Hannukhah. As part of the Alberta Curiculum the students will be learning about how and why their traditions are important in the community and how others' celebrations are important also. I would like to ask each child to write a paragraph about their Christmas traditions or another tradition if your family does not celebrate Christmas. Please bring the paragraph in by November 30th as we will begin sharing in December. If your child can write, please have them write the paragraph. If they are not printing sentences you may type or write out the paragraph for them. Your child may include pictures of past traditions or celebrations to include when sharing.
If you have any questions please e-mail me any time! Thanks,
Mrs.Fedoruk
