Hello Room 8 families,

Book coming home
The Canadian Children's Book Centre (CCBC) is delighted to give each Grade 1 student in our school a beautiful Canadian children's book. This year, students are coming home with Malaika's Costume, written by Nadia L. Hohn, illustrated by Irene Luxbacher. Enjoy!

Marshmallow

Our classroom pet Marshmallow, the rose petal betta fish, will need to be cared for over the Christmas break. If your child would like to take him home please send Mrs. Melindy an email and we can arrange a date and time to pickup the fish, aquarium, and food. I promise he is easy to take care of! You can return him back to school on January 4th.

Hibernation

Today we started talking about how animals survive the winter. We began discussing what the term hibernation means. Then we acted out a couple of animals and the locations of where they hibernate for the winter!

Winter Favourites

The first official day of winter is December 21st, however we have been creating some art based on things we love about when the seasons change from fall to winter. Check it out below!
