Hi, It’s the GIVE power hour.
Thank you to those who have brought in some deodorant for the “fill a sock, fill a need” program.
The charity we have chosen this month is the Calgary Drop-in center. We will be participating in “fill a sock, fill a need”. We will help bring joy to homeless Calgarians this holiday season. With your help 1200 men and woman will wake up to a stocking by their bedside on Christmas morning. You can help by bringing the following items:
socks grades 5/6, tooth brush /tooth paste from grade 3/4, grade 2 will be collecting deodorant, grade 1 will be collecting lip balm /lip gloss and kindergarten will be collecting hand sanitizer. Please bring all items to Mrs. McKay’s room by Wednesday December 14th.
Thanks for helping to make a difference this holiday season.

Daily Challenge:
A couple of days ago we finished up our math center of measuring chains. Try and remember how long your chain is. Can you find something in your house that is longer than your chain, shorter than your chain, and (this one may be challenging) something that is the same length as your chain? Remember you are estimating the length of your chain from your memory. You will be able to check it out when you bring your chain home.
