Weekly Update December 16-20

Week Ahead Dec 9 - 13

HOLIDAY TIME

We are busy practising for concerts and getting excited

for everyone to see them next week.  Vocal and Bell

Choirs are performing in the community this week.

Lots of great holiday activities happening in our classrooms.

This is a busy time of year.  

TIPS FOR HAVING A HAPPIER HOLIDAY

1. Try and keep routines that same.  Kids do well with structure.

Schedules will be different, but try your best to keep some

things the same. 

2. Make sure you are getting enough sleep.  Everyone appreciates

it when we are well rested. 

3. Take time for your wellness. Rest, try not to plan to do so much,
and plan some breaks. 

4. Fit in healthier snacks. There are lots of yummy treats are

around, but try to fit in a few fruits and vegetables. 

Fruit cake does not count! :)

5. Remember what the holidays are about. Spending family time,
and giving rather than receiving.  You do not have to go overboard,

it does not have to be perfect. Kids really appreciate spending

time with you.  Get outside, go sledding, and play a board game
together.  

WINTER WEATHER

We are lucky to have three recesses every day.  Which means, on

most days we go outside. Please help make sure your child is dressed

for the weather. We are seeing a lot of kids not dressed warm

enough and we are very exposed in the back field.  Help us remind them
to put on their toques, mitts, hats and snow pants. If you need warm
clothing, contact us in the office. 

CHRISTMAS CONCERTS

We are excited for our concerts next week.  Each concert is about

20 minutes. To help everything to run smoothly, please note some

important information:

You are to enter our school through your child's boot room as this helps
tremendously with wet boots and shoes.  All families will then drop their
child(ren) off in their homeroom classroom and then proceed to
main street. 

Families will then line up to enter through the main street gym doors. 

The concert doors will open five minutes before the show. Everyone

will find a seat and get ready for the concert.  

Once the concert is over, families will exit out of the south door.

They will pick up their child and exit out the same boot room. If

they are seeing another concert, then go and line up again. 

The front door will be available for guests coming without students.

If you require extra assistance, please let Mr. Larson know.
