Advent is approaching...

Can you believe we are already into December next week!!! I always thought the saying "time flies" was a funny one, but here I am, using it ALL THE TIME! We started talking about Advent in class to prepare for the first Sunday on Advent this weekend. Mrs. Taylor made a beautiful wreath for our prayer table that we will begin to light on Monday during prayer. You might want to talk about making or getting a wreath for your home. It's a wonderful reminder of getting our hearts prepared for Jesus, not just getting our homes prepared for Christmas.

If you would like more information about Advent wreaths, please see the links below:

So long First Term!!!

One term down, two to go!

Firstly I wanted to say thank you to all the parents for a successful first term and a smooth transition to Grade 3. I know for most of you, this has been a transition at home as well, with new routines and homework to be done. The students have all shown progress from September and should be proud of themselves. Report cards will go out next Friday, Nov. 23.

Today, a letter went home that has a sign up for the Parent-Student-Teacher conference which will happen on Thursday, Nov 29 in the afternoon- evening and Friday, Nov 30 in the morning. Please send it back with your preferred time and we will try and accommodate them the best we can. If you are unable to come on either dates, please email me and we can schedule another time.

As you know, there is no homework on the weekend, unless your child has something to catch up on... but I think we are all caught up since it's the END OF TERM! Woo hoo!!!

Enjoy your weekend :) Get some rest and relaxation.... SECOND TERM starts next week.....
