It's that time of year again...


12 days of Random Acts of Kindness
Every day up until break the students are expected to participate in the daily random act of kindness.  Today was contributing to our Christmas Hamper (form sent home).  In return I will be kind to them either with a gift (eg. books) or an activity (computer time).  Please ask what they did today and days to follow, as their act of kindness to hold them accountable for their positive actions.

Adopt a Grandparent 
We have been asked by a parent to be part of the "Adopt a Grandparent" Program at Overlander Residential Care.  The students are writing letters and cards to them which will be delivered late this week and we will then visit them next week to play games and sing some songs.  We are hoping to go on Thursday around 10am.  Would any parents be willing to drive?  Otherwise I have to book a bus which costs money.  I would need about 8-10 drivers.  please email me if you are interested. spiroddi@sd73.bc.ca

Secret Santa
Students have been asking to exchange gifts with each other.  Last year my class participated in an secret Santa exchange and it went well.  The students choose a student's name out of a hat and keep it secret of who they have.  Over the next couple weeks they have to figure out what the perfect gift would be for them.  The limit is $5 or a "White Elephant" gift (which is something a student already owns, that is in good condition but does not use it or play with it anymore). Please let me know if you have concerns with this idea.


BRR...its Winter
Please make sure students are wearing appropriate clothing for the cold (Winter jacket, mittens and toques).  The snow will be here before we know it.
