Exciting News!

Miss Araujo got engaged last night!! So exciting!!

Today

We went to library to return books and hear a story.  We did not check out any books over the holidays.

We attended the grade 1 Nativity Liturgy in the gym this morning. The grade ones did an awesome job.  Our kids enjoyed seeing their former classmates and some saw their siblings.

Thank You

A big thank you to all the families who came out to our Christmas play today.  The children did an amazing job!  We were so proud of them!
We hope you enjoy the special Christmas crafts that your child made for you.  The snowman family craft can be used as a hot plate as it is sprayed with a glaze, however, I  wouldn't put anything too hot on it.

This week

We have a busy week coming up! Our play is Tuesday at 2pm in the forum.   Please sign in at the table in the hall and go directly to the forum.  If you plan on taking your child home after the show please make sure you let me or Miss Araujo know. 

There is no PAT or Snuggle Up this week.

Fun Friday

Pajama Day was a lot of fun! Everyone looked so cozy. We had our ice cream sandwiches while watching a couple Christmas movies. We sent the pizza day cookies home as we thought pizza, cookies and ice cream might make for some sore tummies.

Pajama Day Tomorrow

Rosary Apostolate

We had our third Rosary Apostolate visit yesterday.  We talked about the  3rd Joyful Mystery which is the Nativity.  The children were able to answer lots of the questions about the Nativity such as Jesus was born in a stable, his cradle was a manger, He was born in Bethlehem and the 3 kings or wisemen came to visit.  Our kids are awesome!

This week

Sunday is the 3rd Sunday in Advent. We light the pink candle on the Advent wreath.

We have been very busy in our room. The children have been like little elves, making Christmas crafts for their families and practicing the songs for the play.  We plan to have everything completed so that we can send them home with you on December 20th, when you come in for the play.

PAJAMA DAY
This Friday December 16th we will be having Pajama Day AND our ice cream and movie party! The movie and ice cream is our dance a thon prize.  Should be a fun day!!

PAT
This week is the letter E.

Healthy Snack

This is a picture of our healthy snack that was delivered to each class! So festive!!

Lice

As you know we had a couple cases of lice in our class ( not fun I know my kids had it too many years ago). It was suggested by the We Care nurse that the girls keep their hair tied back in a tight ponytail and that the boys put some gel in their hair.

Keep smiling, Christmas is almost here!

Letter K this week for PAT

Advent Family Mass

The Advent Family Mass takes place this Tuesday December 6th at 7pm at Mary Mother of God church.  Hope to see you there!

Tree of Light

We will be collecting gift cards for our Tree of Light Campaign to support the St. Vincent de Paul society.  The campaign runs from Monday December 5th-Friday December 9th.
If your child brings in a gift card (Walmart and Superstore preferred) they will be able to hang a special ornament on our Tree of Light in the office.  Any amount is welcomed.  Thanks for helping to support those in need at this special time of year.

Santa's Workshop

Our drama centre is now Santa's Workshop, complete with a wrapping station!  There is even a map of Oakville so Santa knows where everyone lives.  The elves have been busy!.

Advent

Our prayer table is set up for Advent.

Brown Bear

Yesterday we had our field trip to see  "Brown Bear, Brown Bear and Other Treasured Stories by Eric Carle".  The children enjoyed seeing "Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See"' "Papa, Please get the Moon for Me" and " The Hungry Caterpillar" brought to life through puppets.

The children were fantastic audience members.  Thanks so much to our parent volunteers for accompanying us on our trip.
