No school tomorrow!




**Winter concert costumes: Students in Ms. Bain’s class are asked to wear all brown.
Students in Ms. Hansen’s class are asked to wear all black. The doctors are asked to wear a white shirt.

Highlights
We started our last week of spelling before we take a little break from official spelling homework.  Students will be given a spelling assessment and then begin independent leveled lists in January, with quizzes every few weeks.  In Science we started learning about our sense of sight. In Social Studies we are continuing with mapping.  During music classes, students have been busy preparing for our winter concert. We are also beginning math centres.

Homework

Reading (always!)

Word Study (spelling):  Students in both classes had a quiz today. Marked quizzes will come home on Monday. We will be taking a spelling break until January. Next week, students will be taking a diagnostic test on the first list that went home (32 must know words). From there, they will be placed in colour groups, and spelling practice will take place during centres or at home.

Important Information
- There is no school Friday, Dec. 4.  
- Ms. Bain's class:  Scholastic book orders due Monday, Dec. 7.  If you would like to keep any orders a surprise for your child (e.g., birthday, Christmas gift, item for a special day/event) please let Ms. Bain know. 
- We are now collecting socks and toiletries for The Alex “Warm toes without holes.” Students are encouraged to bring in a pair of socks, as well as bus tickets or toiletries (shampoo, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes).
- PHS is also participating in the Mayor’s Food Drive.

Have a great 3 day weekend :)
