December 2012
I want to thank everyone for coming out to the Parent/Teacher interviews. It is a blessing to have such wonderful students and fabulous caring parents. I am blessed to be a part of St. Gabriel school.
This is a poem I came across that I really like: It is my way of saying thank you for everything you do. Working hand in hand for the good of our children.
Thank you Parents:
And watched two sculptors there.
The clay they used was a child’s mind
And they fashioned it with care.
One was the teacher; the tools used
Were books and music and art
One, a parent with guiding hands,
A gentle and loving heart.
Day after day the teacher toiled
With a touch both deft and skilled.
The parent labored side by side
And all the values filled.
And when at last their task was done
They looked at what they’d wrought
The beautiful shape of the precious child
Could neither be sold or bought.
And each agreed it would have failed
If one had worked alone.
For behind the parent stood the school,
And behind the teacher, the home.
Science:
We will continue to work on our Objects and Materials unit.
Language Arts:
This month we will be working on short and long vowels, consonant blends, writing skills, Jolly Phonics, and sight words and activities. We will be writing a letter to Santa this week so could you please send a stamp to school by Thursday. The letter from Santa will be going to your home address, so keep an eye out for it please and thank you.
Religion:
We will be working on daily prayer Advent activities. What a blessed time of year. Not are we only awaiting Santa's return but the birth of a our Saviour. The birth of Jesus is a blessed event that I love reliving every year.
Social/Health/Fully Alive
We have been having fun working on our family unit. I have heard silly stories, fabulous holiday trips discussion and we have made family trees and have done various group activites. We have plenty more to work on in this unit.
Attached is a December calendar. Please feel free to print it off.
