Happy Last Day of School. Thank you for all the wonderful kind words and gifts. If you have Instagram check out the teachers performing during the assembly today. I realized that I never attached any of the awesome artwork that we had been working on all of December.
Tomorrow is our last day before break and we also get to wear our PJs. Check your child's backpack today for something TOP SECRET.
Today WE FINISHED all of our pieces of artwork! We have worked super extra hard over the last little while to make sure that our classroom and school are fully festive and decorated for our fun-filled family event tomorrow night. I will post pictures of all our beautiful artwork tomorrow night. We wanted to keep it a surprise until you can see it in person. :) We also started on our TOP SECRET SURPRISE which will be sent home next week.
Today both the AM and PM had PE. In the PM we also had a fire drill.
I can't wait to see you all tomorrow night at our Warm Feet for the Street Night.
Lots and Lots MORE art today. We continued to work on odds and ends of many different art projects. I can't wait to show you the final product. We are ALMOST done our Kinderbread house and we are almost done our winter bulletin board. We also started working on our Christmas cards for someone in need. Tomorrow we will do the writing part. We are having so much fun but we are also so busy!!
Oh Wow another busy day in the books. We worked on our Kinder-bread house which is turning out super cute. We also worked on our large winter bulletin board outside the classroom. We finished our cute little hand print holiday characters that will decorate the gathering area. So basically we did lots and lots of odds and ends art work. We also learned about the letter Dd and practiced printing a Dd in our printing books.
Did you know that grades 1-5 have fun lunches through Healthy Hunger? Kindergarten usually isn't able to participate in these as it is during lunch. HOWEVER there is a popcorn snack on December 22 that kindergarten can participate in!!!!!! (the online order will look like it is on the 21st, that is so the school has a day to organize the popcorn bags, the snack will be handed out during snack time on the 22nd)
You will need to set up an account through Healthyhunger.ca and orders must be in by Dec 16
The kindergarten classes are planning on making holiday cards to spread some joy this holiday season. We wanted to reach out to our parent community first. Do you or a family member or friend work in a nursing home and would be able to pass on some cards from us? We are open to suggestions and are just looking to spread some joy. If not, I will look for a community nursing home close by.

Today in the morning we painted the walls which will become our huge gingerbread house. We also coloured mini gingerbread men that will decorate our roof in a pattern.
In the afternoon the PM crew got to watch Mrs. Hellyer put a pie in her face because they helped contribute half of the winning food items.
Today we started to fill our classroom with some winter art. The background was watercolour and the snowflake was a mix of salt and sparkles.
Tomorrow we will find out what place we officially came in for the food drive. I know that NO MATTER WHAT I am incredibly proud of every kindergarten family that brought in their items to help with the Veterans Food Bank. If I end up getting a pie in my face on Friday,
I promise I will have a pie in my face on Monday for the afternoon kids. We ended up filling 3 1/2 boxes just us Kinders in Rockin' Room 136. WAY TO GO!
Our FINAL total is 668 items!!!!! That is SO much food that can help SO many people!!
