Parent Teacher Conferences December 19th and 20th!
Dear Parents and Guardians,
December parent conferences are next week and if you haven't already please book a time we can meet with you and share your child (children's) progress and what's new and coming up in our TLC classrooms.
Students are continuing their work on making, describing and recording patterns in math. Parents can have their child point out patterns at home and out and around as they travel through their community and city.
Today is sadly the last day of our Dance Residency and all the students benefited from and enjoyed Amy and her dance lessons. It was a wonderful opportunity for all of our students and staff!
We hope to see you at the dance tonight where students can show off their new dance moves and spend some time with family, friends and their teachers!
Just a reminder about our TLC blanket Draw.

Wednesday Update
Our dance residency is in full swing!
After learning dances such as the bunny hop and the chicken dance, our residency is focussing on hip hop dance. Ask your son or daughter to share some of the sweet dance moves we have been shown, as well as the bear freeze and the rock freeze!
A reminder that school uniforms are expected to be worn throughout the dance residency. Please take a moment to write your son or daughter's name inside their cardigans if you have not already done so. It makes returning the proper clothing much easier.
This Friday is PM kindergarten.

Weekly Notes
This week we are excited to begin our dance residency!
Students will be learning about courage, well-being, and empathy through the power of dance from "Movement with a Message". We have already learned some other dances in gym, including the bunny hop and the chicken dance. A reminder that our school dance takes place on Thursday December 12th from 6 to 7pm. We hope to see you there!
This week we will be working on the letter "j". Our study of visualization continues with the use of the descriptive imagery of the book "The First Day of Winter" by Denise Fleming.
We are expanding our study of animal habitats and characteristics as well. This week we will be comparing the needs of animals with a focus on the animals in our local community.
Our next spirit day is Tuesday (December 10th) and will be "Twin Day". Students are encouraged to dress up the same as a friend at school. Students who choose not to participate will be expected to wear their school uniform.
Have a great week!
