Last Day of School:

Students can bring a can of soda for morning snack and one for afternoon snack if they wish. Snacks will all be individual and no sharing allowed. 

We will exchange gifts, do some Christmas crafts and watch a movie. In the afternoon, there is the Liturgy and a reflection for them to write. We will light the 4th Advent candle.

Most students brought their binders home already. Because we will be online after Christmas, they should bring home all necessary tools as well.

I wish you all a safe and relaxing holiday filled with love and blessings. Joyeux Noel et à l'année prochaine!

This week in learning:

FLA: we continue in Hockey Lecture. Students are doing well in increasing their vocabulary and comprehension.

ELA: we are doing Reader's Theater. Students will begin today getting comfortable with voices and characters.

MATH: today we began dividing decimals.

RELIGION: last day to work on Advent magazine today.

SCIENCES: finishing with the moon phases, quiz Thursday. Moving onto planets after that.

Tuesday is Ugly Christmas sweater and/or Christmas mask day...show your spirit.

 A few important messages:

• We will be doing a "white elephant" gift exchange on our last day of school. If students want to participate, we agreed on 15$ to buy a neutral gift. We will draw #'s to see who gets to choose first and students will end up with a gift at the end. This is optional and just for fun. Students are supposed to discuss with you before agreeing to participate. Gifts will be due Monday, so we are not scrambling at the last minute.
• Tuesday is our theme day
• We have 7 completed socks for the streets to date.
• Saturday is Mission Mexico day. Students are being asked to consider giving a toonie to this worthy charity either Friday or Monday.
• Wednesday is our vaccine day. Students can wear pj's that day. We went through a presentation on it today...they had a million questions...hopefully they were answered (I'm a teacher, not a nurse).

Due tomorrow: ELA story, Math homework and ELA quiz signed

 We have made Tuesday the 15th our Theme day for 2 reasons:

1. the 16th, the grade 6ers have their vaccines (can't wear a sweater)
2. Thursday is the liturgy

The theme is Ugly Christmas sweater and /or Christmas mask (kids can also decorate a disposable one so they don't need to buy a Christmas one).

Thanks everyone for participating and for helping the needy by getting socks together.

This week in Learning:

MATH: multiplying decimals with a whole number

FLA: Hockey Lecture is going well...keep reading to improve vocabulary

ELA: good copy of Story prompt (we're moving) due Wednesday FRIDAY but no more time on class

SCIENCE: continue de regarder la lune, images 2,3,4,5,6,7 des mots de vocabulaire dans sketchbook

RELIGION: still working on Advent magazines. It is necessary to have at least ONE article and one Bible passage. When I read your section, I should know what you learned in that section.

Blogger forms need to be signed before continuing on in CTF. Parents check your emails.

From Mme Covey: It is winter and students need to dress appropriately for Phys Ed and recess. If students feel like it is too warm for a winter jacket, bring a smaller/lighter one. Gloves are mandatory for handling equipment and adds an extra layer of protection between classes. Merci

 

Thank you everyone for supporting our virtual book fair!  We sold a total of 231 books.  The funds raised from this book fair will be used to continue to grow our French collection as well as bring in some diversity and indigenous titles.  Thank you again for your support in these challenging times.

Social Justice  Christmas campaign:

Student Council is launching a very short but worthwhile campaign to give to the less fortunate.  The campaign is to help provide warm socks and other necessities to our city's less fortunate.   We are asking St. Luke families who wish to participate to purchase a pair of warm socks items to fill them with some of the items listed below.  These little gifts of kindness will go to the Drop-in Center to help make someone else's Christmas  a little brighter. Participation is optional. Here is a list of items that you can put inside:

 

• Underwear (new)
• Razors
• Tylenol/Advil
• Throat Lozenges
• Lysol Wipes
• $5 Tim Horton’s/Macdonald's gift cards
• Bus tickets
• Toothbrushes
• Toothpaste
• Deodorant
• Kleenex packs small
• Lip balm individual
• Notebooks & pens

 

Cash, toques and gloves will also be accepted, but please do not place in the socks.  The due date will be December 16th.

 

Thank you for your generosity,
