 Happy Friday December 3, 2021!

As a class we decided we are going to start doing fun Fridays. This means we will choose a theme for every Friday (such as anime, specific colour, hats) that we will vote on each week. We are doing this as a way to further strengthen our class community and have a laugh each Friday.

December Spirit Day is the last day of school this term, Friday Dec 17th, and it will be Festive Holiday themed.  That could mean, ugly holiday sweaters, dress as Santa or his elves or his reindeer or a snowmen/women, or even a lit-up holiday tree! Basically, anything to get into that holiday cheer!  

Reminders:

1.  Poetry projects were due Tuesday Nov 16
2. Trees and forests project due MONDAY Dec 6. I am giving students the weekend to work on them.
3. December Spirit Day Friday December 17th -Holiday themed
4. Science test next Thursday Dec. 9 I will give out a review tomorrow.
5. Mayor's food bank --- BRING IN ANY CANNED OR DRIED GOODS for the less fortunate.

6. Loonies for Lunch - same as above but bring in a loonie to help homeless people for their lunches

7. Patrollers will be happening this year! If you're interested we will be handing out sign up forms next week. We are also looking for some amazing parents that would be willing to support the patrollers by becoming patrol supervisors! Email me at malancee@cbe.ab.ca if you are interested.
   

Today in room 16:

We started our morning with DEAR and a bit of time to study for our spelling test.

We then completed our spelling test and marked it as a class.

After spelling we had our anime themed snack time and watched some best moments from the students favourite anime shows. 

The next hour was spent finishing science projects and cleaning up our room. We also had notes of care and an appreciation circle before Mr Wiens took the students off to music.

We finished the day off with a competitive game of dodgeball.

Mayor's Food Drive + Loonies for Lunches

With the holiday season soon approaching it's important to care for others and give back to those who are less fortunate than us.  This holiday season, Beddington Heights School will be a part of 2 programs that the city of Calgary runs for those less fortunate.  

The first program is Loonies for Lunches.  Loonies for Lunches would bring students together to collect loonies to donate to the food bank. Each school and/or classroom would create a donation box to collect the loonies and perhaps have some healthy competition to see which class could raise the most. The loonies would then be used by the Food Bank to purchase food for our Weekends and More program that makes sure kids get the nutritious food they need on the weekends to stay healthy and learning.  

The Mayor's Food Drive is where we collect non-perishable items, i.e. can goods, sealed boxed items, for Calgary's Food Bank.  Both programs start this Monday to Dec 14th.
