Mr. Ogren's Music Class

Student Council is hosting another Spirit Day tomorrow- Dress Christmasy!

You dress in anything Christmas. Show your Christmas & School Spirit.

There will also be a collection box for non-perishable food items at the office for the Food Bank. You do not have to bring an item to dress Christmasy.

There will be a ski trip information meeting for parents this Wednesday, Dec. 9 @ 7:00pm in the library. We will be discussing costs, permission forms and chaperones.

For a donation of a non-perishable food item, students can wear their hats all day.

As part of the class’ language arts on letter writing, we are writing letters to Santa. As part of the lesson, students need to get parents to proofread and sign the rough draft.

The letter should include:

1. What they want for Christmas
2. Have they been naughty or nice, with a promise to behave if they have been naughty
3. a description where they live

We are working at adding descriptive language to our writing through the addition of adjectives and adverbs.

There are still a few days left for the Student Council Candy Guess.  It’s only a $0.25 a guess. You can win a Santa Pot for plants full of candy!

Spelling Unit 10 Assignments are due tomorrow. The weekly test is also tomorrow.

There are a few Poinsettia still for sale at the school. There are white and pink ones for only $15! There is also one wreath left for $30. First come, first serve.

I just reminded students that there is the Candy Guess and Cram the Cruiser going on.

They can be working on studying for the Spelling test, completing the spelling assignments, practicing the times tables and reading for homework. For math, the started working on learning about geometric solids and making them. They also decorated them, as they can make great ornaments for a Geome-tree!

The RCMP is hosting a food drive for the local food bank. They have asked students to Cram a Police Cruiser with food. Students are asked to bring non-perishable food items by Friday to their class. The class with the most donations will receive a Subway lunch provided by the RCMP.
