I can decorate my Gingerbread Man
Today we worked on a special art project for our families for the holidays. We want it to be a surprise! We will be wrapping them and bringing them home next week and cannot wait to share it with you.
We contiue to work on reviewing our 8 letters we have been working on. Please continue to practice them at home with me. We are beginning to segment and blend sounds in words using the letters we know. At this time in kindergarten, we are working on segmenting and blending three letter words that have a consonant, vowel and consonant. We are learning to read words like: pit, sit, sat, nap, tip, pip, pin, pat, pan and more.
Reminders:
- AM kindergarten attends this Friday.

Pyjama Day
-We are collecting donations for the Mustard Seed - please see below for specific items being collected. Donations will be collected until Dec. 15th
Students in grade 5 have been learning about The Mustard Seed, whose vision is to eliminate homelessness and reduce poverty in Calgary. The grade 5 students and staff have decided to take on a Community Project to help support people who are experiencing homelessness and/or poverty in our city.
Students have been exploring the question, “Can one person make a difference?” Students think each and everyone of us at Copperfield can make a difference. Whether it be by helping with donations for The Mustard Seed or by thinking about ways to help others. A smile or extending a simple “Hello” to someone having a challenging day can make a huge difference.
You can chose to donate to our important community project by sending in individual items. Items include urgently needed items, hygiene items, and clothing items. Here is a list of items to donate.
Urgent Needed Items
blankets, shampoo, body wash, lotion, deodorant, razors
Hygiene Items
conditioner (travel size), toothpaste (travel size), tissues (travel size), lip balm, hair brushes, sleep masks, ear plugs, nail clippers, foot powder
Clothing

If you are able to, we ask you to bring in your donations by December 15th, to allow for the grade 5 students to organize and send in the donations. Donation bins will be at the front of the school.
Thank you for considering supporting our Community Project!
