I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and is enjoying some time off with family and friends! I want to thank everyone for their kind holiday wishes and thoughtful gifts. I'm off to Cuba for the remainder of the break to get away from the cold weather. I wish your families health and happiness in the new year! See you back at school on January 6th!!

Thanks for all of the lovely cards!!

Below are a few pictures of some of the activities we did before winter break began:

Ornament patterns!

We created a pictograph based on where each student took the first bite of their gingerbread cookie.

Gingerbread decorating!

Art, Art and More Art!

We learned about Piet Mondrian who was a Dutch painter and we were inspired to create art similar to his. I had students create art similar to his because he mostly used primary colours and we have been talking a lot about primary and secondary colours in class.

Wee just completed reindeer pastel art on Friday. We had a ton of fun drawing the facial features on the reindeer to make each look unique.

Christmas Around the World

We had a lot of fun and we learned all about Christmas traditions in many countries.
