What a week so far... and what a beautiful concert!
I have to start by mentioning how proud I am of everyone for the beautiful performance at the Christmas concert last night. We had a full house and the students were amazing! I hope everyone who saw the concert is as proud of all the students as I am :). If anyone has any photos or videos they could share with me, I would love to see them. :)
We had a few very busy days in preparation for the concert and today's Liturgy (we helped our Grade 1 buddies prepare.)
On
Monday we started with our usual
Sharing Circle (a little faster one as we had lots of work to do). We then worked on finishing our subtractions, in
Math, which many of us are now done with. We will do a refresher in January before we move onto multiplication. As subtraction proved to be a bit more challenging, we will need to practice this a little bit more at home too, so I will be recommending some practices in January. We then rehearsed our songs a few more times before recess. After recess we did our
French Journal entries on the gifts we would like for Christmas and we wrapped up the morning by working on our
Christmas trees for the Christmas Concert. During the afternoon the students worked on their Google Slides for the Social Studies project and finished off the day by finishing their Christmas trees or reading Raz-Kids if they were already finished.
Tuesday... well, that was a busy day.
We started the morning with a bit of reading and then had our 1st dress rehearsal. That took us to the first recess. After recess we went to the Learning Commons, got some new books and when we came back read a little bit of Le Petit Prince. Only a few more chapters to go with only a few more days left :). We can do this. After lunch we practiced the liturgy procession with the grade 1s and did a bit of Raz-Kids as well. Finally, at 2:00 we had one more dress rehearsal and a quick recess and we wrapped up the day before the concert. The level of excitement was building throughout the day and was at an all-time high right before the concert. But what a concert! 😃
Our Christmas tree was also finally finished yesterday. Thank you for all the egg cartons. :)
Today:
Today we started with a bit of typing followed by some additional rehearsals for the Liturgy. After recess we had Rowan's and Addison's Grandma come in and help us create some beautiful wreaths for the class. Thank you so much. After this we worked on finishing our Reindeer letters to Santa. We still have a bit of work left for tomorrow though. After lunch, we went to prepare for liturgy with our Grade 1 buddies. Liturgy started at 1:30PM. It was a beautiful liturgy coordinated by Mme Celine, who did an amazing job. Thank you!
Following a quick recess, we continued polishing our letter to Santa and another busy day got wrapped up. TWO MORE TO GO BEFORE THE BREAK!!!
The elf has been busy too all this time... not just us.
Monday:
Our Elfis knows how to write in French. He is a good little elf. He does not get much into trouble :). I like him.
Tuesday:
It looks like Elfis knows music too. :) He is teaching all his friends about TA, and TI-TI. I think we should ask him to teach us too in January. Although he might be up in the North Pole resting by then.
Today:
It looks like Elfis and his friends were having a discussion. I wish I was a fly on the wall to know what they talked about. :)
Upcoming Important Dates:
Friday, December 21
- AWO TAAN Sandwiches
- LAST DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS BREAK
On Friday we will be watching Le Petit Prince in class so pyjamas are welcomed and so is a stuffy friend. :)
Back to school on January 7th.
Have a lovely evening!
