Well, the last week of school before our Christmas break has arrived, and what a busy, fun filled one it will be! Monday and Tuesday we will continue to practice our Christmas songs for the concert. Everyone has worked very hard on learning the words and actions for our two songs and I know that all the parents will be very pleased and proud! The concert will take place Wednesday morning at 9:30am. Throughout the week we will continue to learn about Christmas in other parts of the world. The students have been really enjoying hearing about the different tradtions and customs. One of our favorites was in Australia where families often go to the beach and have a BBQ for Christmas dinner. The also thought it was very funny that "Six White Boomers" pull Santa's sleigh instead of reindeer because it is too hot!
I will be sending home a note, asking for you to verify how your child will be going home on Friday. It is a half day and to avoid any confusion I prefer to have it on paper.
I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and to thank you for allowing me to teach your wonderful children! May you take every moment this Christmas to make beautiful memories with your families! Enjoy the love and peace this season brings!

This week in spelling we are learning words that have the "dr" blend. The new words are being sent home today in the green homework folder. The students have learned that "Dee Dee Deer" and "Robbie Rabbit" come together to make the "dr" sound. Remind your child to show you the actions while spelling out the words! Our test will be on Thursday this week as there is no school Friday due to Parent Teacher interviews and teacher PD.
Thursday will also be "Santa or Elf Hat" day at Harkins. For just one item for the food bank or a loonie the students can wear one of these hats as we celebrate the upcoming Christmas season.
A reminder to parents that the books your children bring home should be read EACH evening. This will build their confidence and help improve their fluency.

This week in spelling we will be working with the blend "bl". The students brought home their new spelling words today and I suggest that you have them sound them out while doing the actions for each sound. They know that Bubba Bear and Lizzy Lizard have come together to spell lots of fun words!
Friday will be "School Colors Day". For just one item for the food bank or a loonie students are encouraged to wear Harkins colors which are blue and white.
Harkins Elementary Christmas Concert will be held on Wednesday, December 21.

Well, it is nice to finially have a five day week!
We are enjoying our time during Daily 5. Students now choose Read to Self, Read to Someone, Listen to Reading or Work On Writing during the two sessions. I will introduce Word Work soon, which will make up the five parts.
This week in spelling we are reviewing the word families that we have taken so far this year. It is good to stop for a week and go back to recheck what we have learned. The students are getting very good at using the zoophonics signals to spell their words. Have them teach you their favorites!!
A reminder that this Friday is Backward Day! Remember that if you want to participate in this fun day you need to bring in an item for the food bank of a loonie! Thanks so much for all the donations to date. Our class is doing very well collecting.
A few upcoming important dates: Nov. 21 - book order due, Nov. 25 - school colors day (blue and white), Nov. 29 - report cards go home, Dec. 1 - parent teacher 4pm-6pm, Dec. 2 - parent teacher 9am-12pm.
