Today marks the second Sunday of Advent - the Sunday of Peace. We pray for Peace in all aspects of our lives - our homes, our schoolyard games, our communities and our world. On Thursday at 1:30 p.m, the junior students participated in our second Advent Liturgy.
To help the students to participate in the loving act of sharing and giving during this time of Advent, they are invited to collect items to donate to the Shepherds of Good Hope. At this time of year, there are many items the Shepherds need to assist the people who are staying at the shelter. The Grade 4 students are encouraged to bring in disposable face wipes and pocket sized kleenex packs, as well as clean pillow cases. Thank you to those who have already sent an item or 2 in - you have helped to make someone's Christmas a little more comfortable and happy!

Dear Parents & Guardians,
Field Trips and Events are an integral part of learning that often require volunteers. We are asking that if you intend on volunteering this year, that you share a Criminal Background Check with your child`s teacher before Christmas vacation (December 21st 2018). You can share by making a photocopy and sending it with your child OR taking a photo of the document and sending it via email. We look forward to having you come along as a volunteer to share in our learning journey! If you would like to apply for a police record check, please go to ocsb.ca/volunteers.
Thank you in advance for your collaboration,
Junior Teachers

A reminder that Mme Corriveau is taking the Gr. 4 students sliding (weather permitting) on Tuesday afternoon. Please ensure your child has an extra pair of dry socks / mittens and a helmet, if required. Thank you.

Our next Math unit in both grades is Data Management. Grade 4 students will be using Stem and Leaf plots and Double Bar graphs, while in Gr. 5 the focus will be on Broken Line Graphs and survey design.

In Language Arts, the gr. 4 students have mostly completed their cereal boxes and commercials, and the read-aloud the Gr. 5 students have been enjoying finished on Thursday. Once we wrap both of those up, we will be working on Christmas activities.
