Thanksgiving Gratitude

On Thursday we created some beautiful art. First we painted a tree in Mrs. Adeyemi's class. We used brown paint and white paper. Then we let the paint dry. Mrs. van der Veen put the art on our back tables so they would be out of the way. Next we created a list of things we are thankful for. These included people in our family, things in our life such as our home, or school or food that we enjoy to eat! We made a very big list. After that we coloured our leaves. Mrs. van der Veen only let us use crayon or pencil crayon, but we were able to write our thankful words in marker! Our class loves using markers! Last we cut our leaves out and were able to glue them onto our trees. The art was beautiful and our families were able to enjoy them for Thanksgiving.
Here are two pictures of the artwork!

Happy Thanksgiving

Dear Families,
I just wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. As some of the children may have mentioned, my mom lost her battle to cancer last week. It was a hard fight and I will miss her very much. Have a wonderful time with those you love.
See you on Tuesday,
Mrs.  van der Veen.

Raz Kids

Hi parents, thank you for your patience this last week. I will be returning to work and look forward to an exciting month.
I've set up our Raz Kids account. This allows your child the opportunity to read at home. The website is designed to give kids points for books they have read and they can 'buy' things for the rocket room with their points. Each child has their own account with password. I will send this information home next week once I am back to work.
You can access Raz Kids from the students tag on the blog. Also, we have been blogging. If you go to the kidblog link under student you can sign in with your son/daughter to read blogs or respond. They should know what the password is now but if they are unsure just send a note and I will write it down. We all have the same password for Kid Blog.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Mrs. v.
