Hamper Item Donations
December 5, 2016
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
The Advent season has arrived and Christmas is just around the corner. Each of the classes at St. Gabriel School will be involved in our Advent project to help those in need. Each class, from Kindergarten through grade six, will contribute to allow us to prepare a “hamper” for 17 families from our adopted school, St. Elizabeth.
Each student is being asked to bring in a specific item for the food hamper. If you are able, a donation of $2.00 for the family would also be most appreciated. Monies collected will go towards the purchase of a grocery store gift card for each family, so the family can purchase a turkey and fresh fruit and vegetables. Should you still have any, we are also asking for donations of Canadian Tire money which will be used to purchase gifts for the families.
We encourage the students to complete a chore at home to earn their own money, so that they experience the gift of giving. Your child is invited to bring in 2 child toothbrushes. We will be collecting the hamper items and money from Monday,December 5th until Friday,December 16th.
** Please note we also welcome donations of hats and mittens to send to families in need in our school board.
Thank you for your generosity and support during the Advent Season.
God Bless,
St. Gabriel Catholic School Staff

This week in Rm 138
Today we had a welcomed guest, Jingles the elf! The kids LOVED seeing him hang from the ceiling and watch over us all day. I'm sure you will be hearing all about him and his mischievous adventures this month!!!
The letter of the week is "o" and the word of the week is "to". The sk students wrote amazing sentences using "to". Their writing is really coming along! Please encourage your child to sing, clap, spell, point out etc. our word each night. Have fun with it!
On Friday, December 16Th at 2 pm we will be having a little Christmas concert. We hope you can attend. Please send back the form that was sent home on Friday indicating how many people will be coming. The more the merrier! After our concert, you are welcome to stay and make a craft with your child. The kids are very excited and are working hard to learn the songs.
Our school has started it's collection for the Christmas hampers. Our class has been assigned to bring in 2 child toothbrushes per student as well as a $2.00 donation to contribute toward purchasing a gift card for perishable food items. If you are able to donate, please send the toothbrushes in anytime from December 6-16th. Thank you in advance!

Week of Nov. 28th
Happy Tuesday! Our first snow day was spent creating with our hands and practicing songs for our upcoming Christmas concert. We will be sending home an invitation this week with the date and time. We are aiming for Friday, December 16th at 2 pm but we are still finalizing this date.
Our letter of the week is "w" and our word of the week is "we". We talked about the sound "w" makes as well as the sound the "e" makes in "we" (long e says it's own name). Please continue to practice theses sounds and the word at home with your child. It would be greatly beneficial and will help with your child's reading process.
Today we had a dental hygienist come in to look at the children's teeth. She will be back tomorrow for those who were away today.
Since today was a snow day, pizza was cancelled. We will have pizza day tomorrow instead.
Advent is upon us and we are waiting patiently for the birth of baby Jesus. We talked about the true meaning of Christmas and watched a cute video about Advent. Our school is getting ready to send our Christmas hamper information home soon. Families are invited to participate in providing hamper items for families in need from our sister school, St. Elizabeth. More details to come.

Week of November 21
Wow! It's hard to believe that we are fast approaching December! Today's blast of snow was a reminder that winter is on it's way! The kids loved playing outside in the snow. Please remember to send your child in with snowpants and winter accessories (hat, gloves) as they do go out 3 times per day. Extra socks and a spare change of clothes is always good to have as well.
Today we learned about the letter "s" and it's sound. Our word of the week is the word "is". We buttered our poem and counted all of the "is" words in the poem. Our sk students did a great job incorporating the word of the week into their writing. Please continue to point it out with your child at home.
We also took a time warp today back to the 1990's and learned the running man and a parody to Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby! We learned a song called "I Know My ABC's". It is a must watch to bring you back to your youth! The children also enjoyed singing along to "What Do The Letters Say". These are fun songs to help the kids learn their letters and sounds.
In Math, we looked at different lengths and glued them in order from longest to shortest. We also worked on creating different types of patterns for our pattern tree. It turned out beautiful.
Up-Coming Events:
Nov 21- 25 is Bully Awareness Week: On Wednesday, wear pink in support of antibullying.
Friday Nov. 25 - Nifty Nature Spirit Day and Animal Bake Sale. Wear clothes/ t-shirt with animal or nature slogans, animal motif hats or earthy colours. Raffle tickets for the bake sale are $0.25 and baked goods are $0.50.
Friday Nov. 25: Family Movie Night 6-8 pm
