Oreo day was a BLAST! Thank you for all of your support in providing cookies! We enjoyed many activities and I think the favourite was definitely a glass of milk and eating a few!

There will be no spelling on the week of December 17-21. The week prior to that we will have the test on Thursday so that students can enjoy the MMH Christmas ball with no stress of studying :)!

After school Skating on December 4, 11 and 18
December 13 - MMH Christmas Ball at MMH from 6-8pm

December 20 - Grade two skating at Nicolas Sheran from 1-2 (drivers will be needed)
December 17 - 21 -Christmas Caroling from 8:30-9 in Gym
Important Note:
In the past grade 2's have always done a Gingerbread house decorating day. We would ask parents to provide their child with a gingerbread house and then each child would need a family member to join them for the decorating day. Looking at the calendar and all of the busy school and family events at home we have decided to change things up this year!
This year each child will help in baking a class set of gingerbread men to go along with our book study of the "Gingerbread Baby" by Jan Brett. We will then decorate them and enjoy a cozy winter day in class.
The only parent support we will require for this is help in gathering some ingredients. A note will be coming home in the very near future. We hope that this alleviates any stress that comes with holiday time. Thank you for your continued support.
Gingerbread men baking and skating will happen on the same day!
December 20th!
A note will also be coming home about the skating day very soon. Each child will need their own pair of skates and a hockey helmet. Some extra helmets are at the rink but not enough for every grade 2 child. We will require drivers and supervisors for the skating afternoon.
