It's Time to Celebrate!

Christmas is just around the corner and we’re planning to have a great day next Friday!


Starting with Santa Gift exchange. This is a game that requires each student to bring in a special $5 wrapped gift. Since there are only 4 girls in the class, they are asked to bring in a ‘girlie’ gift. All the boys may bring in a gift meant for boys. The rules of the game will be explained the day of. Please inform me personally if affordability is an issue.
We will also be watching a Holiday movie and will enjoy some Christmas carols and treats. Families are invited to share their special holiday treat/sweet. If it is a homemade treat and you are able to send in the recipe, please do as I will be compiling them in hopes to put together a family recipe book that can be shared with all.

DPA Winners

Congratulations to Preyom and Kian! They were our DPA winners for the last two weeks.  Well done boys!

Just Another Day in Room 203...

Every once in a while, Alex has the urge to turn himself inside out. And why not attach a spoon to the nose?!! 

Who knew Domino's could be so exciting?!

Looking for LIDS

We are collecting a certain size lid from containers like sour cream, large yogurts, feta/ricotta cheese etc. Try to remember to keep them and send them in with your child. Thanks

You have to try this!
