Speak tenderly to them. Let there be kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your greeting. Always have a cheerful smile. Don’t give only your care, but give your heart as well –Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Week 13!
It's hard to believe that December has arrived already.  Time seems to be flying by this year!  Please see this month's calendar at http://stj23school.eics.ab.ca/index.php/teachers-pages/74-lesley-holt

Joelle was our Star Student this week!
We celebrated these great grade two students for their hard work on Lexia this week!
We started out our week with a beautiful Advent assembly and each morning since we have been coming together as a school to celebrate Advent.  

We are working on earning our strawberry scoop for our banana split.  Keep practicing at home using the flashcards provided or visit this website for some practice and enrichment for those who like a challenge http://www.oswego.org/ocsd-web/games/Mathmagician/cathymath.html
In social we continue to explore our three Canadian communities.
 We are starting a project where we have to pack a suitcase for a trip to one of the communities.


In science we created Water Wise posters to educate others about ways to save and protect water.  We will be posting them around the school to share with others.
We have lots of illness in the school at the moment.   Hand washing is our best defence.

2H are leading the school assembly on Monday morning so being at school on time will be very important.  
Don't forget to practice assembly words to be prepared to read to the school.
