Christmas Concert Week!

Christmas is on its way and we have so much to do from now until then! We now have more than enough drivers for skating! Thank you so much for your time! We always need lots of help to tie up skates and help kids on the ice.I am still looking for gingerbread forms from a few students. Please send back your red form if you have not already.


This week: 
December 15 - Christmas Concert at Southminster United Church. Starts at 6:30. Children should be dropped off at the side door across from Top's Pizza in their fisherman costume at 6:15. More details will be coming home. Don't forget to bring a donation for the Food Bank which can be donated as you come in the front entry way.

Sledding Forms!!! I am really hoping that we can get out sledding before the end of 2011. There are about 10 students who need to return their consent form. Please do this ASAP so that we can all head outside for a great time together!

Today we made ice cream in science to demonstrate how a liquid can be changed when it is cooled. Some students really wanted the recipe! Here it is...

In a small zip lock bag add:
1 cup of chocolate milk
2 Tbsp. sweetened condensed milk
In a large zip lock bag fill it half way with ice cubes and 3 heaping tablespoons of kosher salt. Add the small, sealed bag of milk. Close the big bag. Shake , shake, shake until you have ice cream!

Here are the details on Christmas Concert costuming:
Miss Craddock’s class will be dressed as east coast Newfoundlanders, preferably in worn blue jeans (or pedal pushers) and white t-shirts or long sleeve shirts with no logos.  Blue jean shirts would be acceptable as well.  In keeping with a fisherman theme, a few of the students could wear rubber boots, or a fishing hat.  If you have any questions about costuming, please send me an email.
