Mrs.B's Smart Cookies

 Week of Dec.7

Want to be part of the LGMS Christmas spirit?  Participate in our reverse advent calendar this week.  Practice demonstrating kindness and sharing by bringing a donation item for each day this week (or as many, or as few items as you would like to donate).  All items will be donated locally :)

Monday:  There will be no weekly homework assignment this week.  Please use the time to help your child to be ready for their math quiz tomorrow, and their novel review due Thursday.  Donation item: canned fish or meat

Tuesday: Math Quiz - My apologies to everyone struggling with the large number multiplication and division questions in the practice test.  I planned to remove those pages but forgot to during the busy part of the day I was assembling everything.  Please know that though there will be smaller basic facts style questions of multiplication and division on the quiz, there will not be larger numbers as we are just beginning to work on these strategies together (the rest of the test will be exactly as the practice, with the large number multiplication and division page removed)  Donation item: canned fruit

Wednesday: Library    Donation item: Kids art or craft supplies

Thursday: Novel reviews are due    Donation item: Kids toy (ideas: lego, dolls, puzzles, cars, sports equipment)

Friday: Full day.   * A hammer is needed for our art project Friday - please send this in a day or two in advance if possible.  Though we can't share hammers this year if you have a spare that you can send in a "quarantine" plastic bag a few days early it would be appreciated in case someone forgets one.   Donation item: Canned soup or crackers

Next week we will be celebrating the spirit of Christmas with a mix of special dress up days.  If you need to plan ahead - here's what will be happening:

Dec.14 - Seasonal colours (red, green, silver, white, gold)

Dec.15 - Crazy Santa and/or toques and holiday hats

Dec.16 - Christmas sweaters

Dec.17 - school wide PJ day

Dec.18 (half day) - In our class we will be doing anything holiday.  Re-wear a favorite from earlier in the week, combine all of the separate parts...
