I can make an invitation for the winter concert
I have an invitation in my backpack with all of the important details of our winter concert. I am practicing writing my name independently and being able to copy environmental print (copying from the board). If you are having difficulties reading my name and what I wrote on the invitation, please help me practice writing at home by copying letters and words. We continue to learn about holding our pencils and crayons with the proper grip and forming our letters and numbers correctly by always starting at the top. We have been busy practicing our songs and cannot wait to perform them for you and the rest of the school. We have been exploring lots of new holiday centres. Ask me to tell you some of the centres I have been to.
Reminders:
- There is NO SCHOOL Dec. 8th
-Next week gym will be OUTSIDE - please dress appropriately!

-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
toques, gloves, men’s small size clothing (jogging pants, t-shirts, sweatshirts, socks)
Other Items
Backpacks
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!
