We had a wonderful and festive day today! We spent the morning finishing up unfinished work and in the afternoon we got to do Caroling and play in the gym! Our stuffies did most of the learning today (as you can tell from the picture) 😜
I hope you al have a wonderful, safe and warm break and I will see you in the new year!
Today we made a winter snowscape in art (A.K.A. the best art ever)! Tomorrow is the last day of school before winter break! It is a spirit day - please wear your coziest PJs or holiday sweaters and bring a stuffie (must fit in your backpack!).
Today we made animals out of pattern blocks. Srta. Bertolesi gave us instructions in Spanish, using prepositions, and we built the animals by paying attention and following the instructions.
Tomorrow is library day! Please bring back your library books! This will be the last opportunity to take out books before the winter break.
Friday, December 17 will be a Pajama & Stuffie Spirit Day to go along with our caroling. Everyone is invited to wear their best onesie/pajamas/holiday sweater and their favorite stuffie!

We are still working on our Stuck Stories! We are hoping to be done by winter break, so we are working SO HARD.
There is school on Friday! In the initial school calendar, this was scheduled as a non-instruction day. As the federal government declared September 30 a statutory holiday as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the calendar was adjusted. Friday will be a normal early dismissal day.
Today we did an activity where we read some sentences en español. We had to underline the verbos (verbs), adjetivos (adjectives) and preposiciones (prepositions). Then we will draw a picture to go with it! I can read you what these sentences say, and tell you what it means! 🐴🐦🐟⚽
Today we coloured the flags of Acadia and Nova Scotia. We learned a little bit about the history of Canada and how the flags are important to that history. We watched a video about the flags of the provinces of Canada. You can watch the video by clicking here! Ask me if I can remember any of the history we learned about the flag of Acadia or Nova Scotia!
We also played a game with los verbos (verbs) en español! We have been learning the verbs: corriendo (running), saltando (jumping), nadando (swimming), jugando (playing), comiendo (eating), volando (flying), and caminando (walking)!

Today we started a Christmas Challenge with the CBE! Our team name is the Busy Elves! Every day we unlock a new present which gives us a movement challenge! Today we learned the Santa Cheer! It goes: lap, lap, belly, belly, clap, pause, hey (hands up!) pause. Let me show you the Santa Cheer!🎅🎄🤶
Today we made coffee filter snowflakes and Srta. Bertolesi put them up in the window! Now we're always going to think it's snowing 😉❄❅❆ We also got to make some paper snowflakes which we are bringing home today to show our grown-ups!
Today was FREE SEATING FRIDAY!!!!!!!! Here is a picture so you can experience a little bit of what Srta. Bertolesi called our "chaos".
Today we made a map of Canada. There are ten provinces and 3 territories in Canada. We live in the province of Alberta. The community of Meteghan (which we will be studying) is in the province of Nova Scotia.
Tomorrow we will have a Snowflake Challenge! It is also Free Seating Friday!
For this holiday season, Dalhousie will be starting a fundraiser to support the Salvation Army’s Toy Angel campaign. Toy Angels is Calgary’s largest Christmas toy drive in support of The Salvation Army’s Christmas Toy Program, which helps families in need during the holiday season so that they too can have a Merry Christmas. Families are invited to bring in a new, unwrapped toy that the student would like themselves. They have requested no electronics. This is an opportunity for students to practice the concept of gratitude and giving back. Thank you for your support!
Please bring back your library books as we have library tomorrow!📚
Today we learned to draw lighthouses because we are going to be learning about a community in Nova Scotia called Meteghan! We brainstormed what kinds of things we would need to learn about a community before we travelled there!
