Happy Holidays!!!

We had such a fun last day of school before the Christmas Holidays!!! We wore our Pajama's to school and had a PJ party. We had fun listening to Christmas music all day long, and we also watched a movie during quiet time as a special treat. 

We filled out our Santa beard because it was our last day in the classroom.  We also counted how many days until Christmas. Only six more days!!! 

Sadly we had to say goodbye to our elf friend Sparkles for another year.  We found him dressed as Santa and his his sleigh with his reindeer! Silly Sparkles!!!  He was such a great little friend to have around. 

After recess he left he left us a goodbye note and some candy canes to thank us for letting him join our classroom for the month of December. He told us he will be back next year  :)

We sure are sad to see him go, but he is a very busy elf. 

Our boys were back to making their racetracks and houses for their cars. 

R.T was tracing letters and drawing pictures! 

Here is some of our French writing on our writing wall.  The children can go up to the wall and write some of French words at anytime throughout the day. They are doing such a great job! 

Once again we had a very busy day crafting.  The children love making art pieces at our free art table.  In the new year if you have any paper towel rolls, boxes, wrapping paper, you name it... anything that we can use for crafts (that would typically be recycled or thrown out, we would love to have it) 

:)

H.M made Jesus on the cross

C.S made a puppy! 

H.M made a computer! 

This is our free art table!  We had a bunch of random items on the table for the children to use their imaginations and create! 

H.M's mommy made us some delicious cake pops!!!   Thank you so much, we really loved them and it was a great way to end our fun day :)

We would like to thank everyone for the warm wishes this Christmas season. We wish everyone a safe and wonderful Christmas holiday!!! 

See you in the new year  :)

Snow slime and cupcakes :)

On Tuesday we had everyone finish all of our Christmas crafts!!! We put all the finishing touches on them :)  

We found sparkles lying down in a bed Tuesday morning :( He was touched the day before by a few students.   Poor Sparkles!!! He needed a day to recooperate.  Hopefully his magic comes back!  

E.S wrote him a nice note hoping that he gets better soon, and she gave him some canadian tire money so that he could buy some medicine :)  such a sweet girl! 

Ms. Whitteker also made snow slime for us! 

We had a ton of fun playing with it :)

We had a great time building today! 

 E.L and F.C made a zoo with mainly farm animals! 

We aren't too sure who made this beautiful portrait of Sparkles... but we just had to post it  :) 

R.D made a picture of Jack Sparrow

----------------------------------------------------------------------

We had a great Wednesday!  This morning we found Sparkles hanging around on a candy cane swing :)   He must be feeling better.  I think E.S's letter she wrote to him worked!!!

We also did some baking today with Mrs. Marilyn.   We baked some mini cupcakes and got to decorate them too.

They were very yummy!!!

Luckily we were finally able to go outside and play in the snow today.  We had fun making snow angels and running up our snow hills. 

We also had fun playing with our snow slime.

H.M cut the snow slime up into little pieces! 

*** Tomorrow we are going to have pajama day!!!! Please feel free to wear your pj's to school :)

See you tomorrow!

Advent liturgy

We had a fun Monday with Mme. Cayci!!!  In the morning we finished up some of our Christmas crafts.  We also had our Advent Liturgy. We discovered that we only have 9 more days until Christmas and only 3 more days until Christmas holidays. 

This is how we found Sparkles this morning!  He made a tree out of Lego. 

After our liturgy we found Sparkles inside a Lego tower. Silly Sparkles, he looks trapped inside. 

This afternoon we got to building with Lego and the large wooden blocks!!!   

We also were writing a lot today as well. 

It was such a cold day today that we were unfortunately not able to play outside.  We can an indoor day and watched the cartoon "An elf's story" about Chippy the elf on the shelf.  :)

***  If anyone would like a copy of the class video that we showed before our Christmas concert, please send in a blank CD and Mme. Cayci can make a copy for you  :)

Keep warm, and see you tomorrow!!!

Christmas Concert!!!

Thursday we were with Mrs. Mallamo. We talked about Christmas, and the birth of baby Jesus.  

This is how we found Sparkles ... 

He must have known it was a Sens game night  :)

This is how we found him after recess 

We were busy doing Christmas tree art. 

R.D was measuring students and Ms. Whitteker to see how tall they were.  

Mrs. Mallamo brought in some cups for us to build some amazing structure with.  We had a ton of fun playing with them  :) 

R.D also made a book about knights and dragons. 

The children were also painting with pizza box lids.M.H made this creation. 

In the afternoon we practiced for our concert outdoors on our stage! Wishing our class the best of luck tonight for the concert  :)

Wow,  we did so great last night at the Christmas Concert :) Mme. Cayci and Ms. Whitteker are so proud of our class!!!! Thank you so much to all of our parents who were able to make it out last night and join us at our first outdoor Christmas concert. 

We also had a very nice Friday with Mme. Cayci!  We had a few tired friends today.  We had a nice relaxing day.  This morning we did our morning message with the weather and the date.  We figured out that there is only 12 days until Christmas Day! 

Our morning sign in routine.  Our SK's write the word "Père Noël"

This morning we did some stamping with paint and Christmas stamps

We finished off the day practicing for our mass on Monday in the gym with the whole school. 

Have a wondferul weekend!!!  :)

Super Sparkles

We had a great Wednesday!   This morning we did our morning message with Mme. Cayci.  We practiced a few French words "neige, Noël, bébé Jésus, père Noël, and etoile". 

This morning Sparkles was back in our classroom :) We are sooooooo happy that he is back!!!  He was dressed up like a superhero.  We called him "Super Sparkles".  He had a face mask and also a cape with the letter "S" on it with sparkles. 

When we came back in from recess he had a spider man mask on, and we called him Spider-Sparkles :)

We had fun playing with our nativity playmobil set

We found le bébé Jésus

We built une chateau, une maison pour les dinosaurs, and un train 

S.B and M.H were counting pennies! We counted to twenty

"Ireland rugby player, Irish knights, Ireland, lightning, Irish guards" R.D

C.S made a skateboard, and H.M made une maison (house)! 

We also practiced for our Christmas concert this afternoon on our stage outside! We have to remember to sing really loud so that everyone can hear us tomorrow night. How exciting we only have one more sleep until our big performance :)

We are so proud of our class!!!
