Happy Hanukkah!!!!

Today Mrs. Nelson showed us a video about Hanukkah! It was cool to learn about why they light 8 candles. Ask me to tell you about it! Hanukkah starts this evening at sunset.

We did Caroling in the gym as a whole school. We sang lots of fun Christmas Songs.

We had free time with our Math Centres and we did Student of the Day! We also finished our letters to Santa. Mrs. Nelson is going to mail them today! We also did brain gym and exercised in class!

Notes:
Half day Thursday
No School Friday
Sock donations accepted until TOMORROW!!!! 
We can wear fun holiday hats this week if we want!

Today was back to our normal schedule. We made a show for good and bad choices. We got to show Mrs. Nelson good choices and bad choices. It was really funny!

We wrote notes to Santa about how we take care of others, how we take care of place and how we take care of our learning. We also read a story about Ramadan and tomorrow we will hopefully read a story about Hanukkah! Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Notes:
Still accepting gently used or new socks for donation until December 17th.

We had a fun relaxing day! We worked on our Math Centres for the final time before Winter Break and we got to show Mrs. Nelson how we make and label patterns.

We got to enjoy the band from Sir John A. McDonald school this morning and then this afternoon we watched the Polar Express as a whole school.

We talked about how we felt before and after our dance performance last night. Some people felt nervous and shy or happy and excited before hand. Afterwards, most of us felt proud and brave. Mrs. Nelson said we looked like Professional Dancers! It was AWESOME!!!! Thanks so much for all your support!

We did not have time today for our Spelling Review so we will do that on Monday perhaps. The words are: at, you, can, on, is

Have a splendid weekend!

We had a busy day! We worked on Math Centres! We are getting so good at creating patterns. We checked the pattern we made with a rubric to find out how many stars it was worth.

We worked on our Spoken Word for our Winter Concert and we got to watch all the classes that are performing this evening! They are really good! We can't wait to show you our dance!

December 4th, 2014

Hello Parents,

I've been sick a couple days, so I'm sorry there wasn't a blog posted on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Today we had a spelling review and then searched for words in magazines. We highlighted any spelling words we could find. There sure was a lot!

Looking forward to seeing most of you this evening or tomorrow! If you still need to book a time, please go to www.pickatime.com and do so!

An important dance notice coming home today about dance! It is on RED paper.

GOT SOCKS?

This year, Beddington Heights School is hosting a sock drive for the homeless and you can help!

Simply drop off your donation of new or gently used clean socks into the collection bin (near the office) until December 17th. The socks will then be donated to The Calgary Drop In Centre to help keep the feet of Calgary’s most vulnerable citizens warm, dry and healthy. 

Did you know? 

Not having access to clean socks can be a serious health risk? 

Let’s keep toes toasty this winter.

Thanks for your support!

Welcome to December!!!

Wow! This school year is sure going fast! Today we got our new spelling words. They are:

my

go

in

it

We are bringing home a new practice sheet. This sheet can stay at home and we should practice everyday.

We had our Dance Artist come into our class and teach us about Spoken Word. It is like a rap and a poem all in one. Our Spoken Word is about Kindness! We can't wait to share it with you on December 11th.

 We have Scholastic Book fair here this week. We will make a wish list with prices to share with you. Maybe if we work hard at home we can earn money to buy some books!

For Heritage Park passes I have one family of 5 and we didn't write the name on it. If it was you, please email me. mldavy@cbe.ab.ca 

It looks like we may be able to give 3 passes per family for the ones who have responded. I will give those out on Thursday this week.

Notes:

Student Conferences Dec 4 & 5, please sign up for a 15 minute time slot

Dance Hats and toques are allowed during dance.

No Library this week.
