Hello families and friends,

Today the students had an opportunity to visit the Scholastic Book Fair.  This will be on one side of the gym through tomorrow and interviews on Friday.  If your child would like to purchase a book and wants to bring the money during the day tomorrow they may do so and we will send them down at an appropriate time.  It will also be open for purchasing books during parent teacher interviews tomorrow night and Friday morning.  Also, if you have not booked an interview time yet you may do so from the Cranston School website.  In the morning we continued working on our literacy and numeracy skills, and Mr. Soulliere's class continued practicing their songs for their field trip on Monday.  We worked in our word work groups in the afternoon, and Mrs. Brace introduced herself to the whole group.  Then the students did some writing about themselves for her to get to know them.   After that we went to music and practiced our songs for the Christmas concert on Wednesday, December 9th.  Then we worked with Mrs. Kinsman.  Ask your child what they worked on.

There were some people who were having issues getting to the website for ordering tickets for the Christmas concert next week.  There were issues with the link, but if you copy and paste the website <https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/gr-1-2-hopeharmony-wing-concert-tickets-19746593593> into the address bar it should work for you.  Email me at <gasoulliere@cbe.ab.ca> if you have any issues.

The deadline for bringing in Families Helping Families gifts has been extended to this Friday, December 4th, in an effort to ensure that all families are able to get their contributions in.

Thank you to all of those who have been experimenting with racing different liquids at home!  It has been interesting to hear some of the different match ups that people have tried.  As our time with Ms. Tarry is winding down, what are some wonders that you still have about liquids?  Post your questions in the comments below.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
