Today was our last day at the Arts Commons. We had a great week working with different artists and creating our own art, sometimes as a whole class and sometimes just for ourselves.
A HUGE THANK YOU to all the parents who volunteered. You made this an amazing week for the class. We could not have done it without you.
Drumming:
The school was split into two groups and we will be drumming in the second session. Our drumming session starts on Nov. 26 and then continues the following week until Dec. 3. We will have 5 half hour sessions. We will not be able to attend the other session’s performance as we have a WDYT session that time. Our performance will be on Dec. 3 within the first hour of school. I am not sure when our class is actually performing. I will update when I get more information.
French
In French, students are using Photo Booth to make movies for IRIS. Each student will be demonstrating his/her French counting skills. If possible, students can be practicing at home. For more information, check out the French blog http://sgpallesen.weebly.com/blog

Field Trip Fees:
Please remember to pay the field trip fees. The notice came home at the end of September. The cost for all the field trips and in-school activities is $88.00. Payment can be made online by credit card as school fees. If online payment does not work for you, you may come in to pay using debit or credit at the office. We have been paying for our field trips so your prompt payment will help us with these fees. If you have any concerns with the lump sum payment, please contact Mrs. Pulfer, ([email protected]).
Volunteers for Monday mornings
There is a small group of moms who are reading Monday mornings and rotating through themselves to watch younger siblings in order so that they can volunteer. One of the moms lives right across from POW, which is where the childcare is taking place. If you are interested in this, please contact Andrea.
