Santa Letters Have Arrived!

Yay!!! Our letters from Santa have arrived!

This morning we opened and read our letters from Santa. Santa told us that he enjoys reading our letters. He also said that he likes to play hide and seek in the candy cane forest. Our class is wondering what the candy cane forest looks like. We are wondering if the leaves are gumdrops? Santa, if you are reading our blog, thank you for reading and sending us letters.

Love,
Room 7

P.S. Santa - How are Rudolph and the other reindeer doing?

Concert

On December 12, 2012 our school had our concert. We did the musical "The Nutcracker". Our families and friends came to watch us sing. They were proud of us!

Baby Cally

On November 26th, we met Baby Cally. She comes to our classroom for Roots of Empathy. In Roots of Empathy, we learn about taking care of babies and feelings.

Baby Cally is two months old. We sang the welcome and goodbye song to her. Cally is a sunrise baby. That means she is very happy and smiles a lot.

Cally is very cute and we had fun meeting her!

We measured how tall Cally is. 

We made predictions about Cally before she visited us. 

We compared how tall Cally is to the Roots of Empathy doll.

This is Mission Impossible!

In our gym classes this week, we are doing Mission Impossible. Mission Impossible is a giant obstacle course where we are secret agents going through the course. It is very hard for most students! There are different parts in the obstacle course. Our favourites are the junkyard, beam, sloth bar, snake pit, spider web, chicken coop and where we have to go through the balloons and penguins.

Thank you Mrs. Lamoureux and Mrs. Barnes for building Mission Impossible for us!

Thank you for reading!
Love,
The students in room 7

Mo Willems Day

Last Friday our class celebrated Mo Willems day. Mo Willems is a famous author and illustrator. He is the author of the Pigeon and Elephant and Piggie Books.

We had our faces painted as the Mo Willems characters. We made pigeon and duckling finger puppets.

We made Gerald and Piggie hats for Read to Someone. At the end of the day, we ate popcorn while we listened to a story. It was an awesome and cool day that felt like a party!
