Wednesday, December 1

 Hi parents,

Can you believe it's already December? We did a bit of work with December calendars today and it suddenly dawned on me that there are only 12 days of school until Winter Break. Pretty crazy.

The students spent most of the morning working on their good copies of their Norval Morrisseau-inspired artwork. All around they are looking pretty awesome. Tomorrow we will add the finishing touches, and then I'll put some more pictures on the blog.

The students had more time this morning to finish up their paragraphs from yesterday. We also worked on some math problems. We're continuing to work on addition and subtraction problems as well. I realize that there are a lot of different 'tricks' and strategies the students are currently juggling, and it can be tough to always remember when to use each one. Any additional (and subtractional) practice at home will always go a long way!

In the afternoon, we did Daily LA, worked on the calendars mentioned above, and had Music and Gym.

Tomorrow is "Holiday Character Day" at LBS! 

Students are encouraged to dress up as one of their favourite 'holiday characters'. I think the idea is to focus on wintery-holiday characters, like Frosty, Rudolph, Buddy the Elf, John McClain etc. But 'holiday character' is a pretty broad term so feel free to get creative with it.

Have a nice night,

Zac
