REMINDER – we will be going on our first field trip of the new year on the first Friday after the break – we will be taking a school bus to Science World on Friday January 6th, 2017.
Please return your signed form ASAP to your classroom teacher!!!!

North Vancouver City Library – we visited the City Library last Friday but we did not take books out. If you would like to visit over the break remember that your child’s library card is kept at the Children’s Librarian’s desk in an envelope with your teachers name on it. We will resume our visits on Friday, January 13th and Friday, February 3rd.
We are seeing some amazing growth in our reading skills. Remember to keep reading everyday during the break for 15-30 minutes. Practise, practise, practise!

Thank you for the support in learning our song Hot Hot Hot Hot Chocolate. We had many compliments after both of the concerts yesterday that we looked like Grade 2 students who were well rehearsed! We enjoyed performing the song, especially to a Gym on Tuesday night that was so full we ran out of chairs and had standing room only… unless you were in the front row sitting criss-cross applesauce…

Wishing you all the best over the winter break!

Merry Christmas – Happy Hanukkah – Joyeux Noël – Happy Festivus – Happy Kwanzaa. Enjoy the time off to rest, see friends and family and get ready for January. We are looking forward to seeing you around Queen Mary Community Elementary School in 2017!
