This Friday, Dec 11, we have our Christmas dress up day. Feel free to wear reds and greens, Christmas hats, reindeer antlers, or whatever festive outfits you can think of. It is all in good fun and celebrating. By no means is it mandatory.
Anyone that ordered Scholastic products, the order has been placed and I hope it will arrive in time to send home before the break.
Next week we have the annual East Elementary Christmas concert. The students will be doing rehearsals Mon., Tues., and Wed. afternoons. The first concert is at 1:00pm on Thursday Dec. 17th. The evening show will begin at 7:00pm, with the doors to East Elementary opening at 6:30pm. The annual grade 6 fundraiser, the cake raffle, will also be taking place.
The Grade 2's are asked to wear jeans and a western shirt for their concert "costumes".
Friday, Dec. 18th, the last day before the break is going to be pajama dress up day. The students will be watching a movie in the gym all together in the afternoon, kinda like a big pajama party. We will also be having our "Christmas" potluck. I ask that everyone still brings their regular snacks and their regular but "light" lunch. We will have some parents bring in cheese & crackers, a veggie platter, as well as a dessert/treat. I will supply hot chocolate for the class as well.
We do have a spelling test this week, as well as next week, even though it is a very busy week with the concert, we still need to have one to stay on track with our spelling lessons.
There is no hot lunch on Friday December 18th.
I hope that everyone can have a wonderful and relaxing Christmas break. I look forward to spending time with my family and friends as well as celebrating my birthday on New Years Eve. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Mr. Aasen
