The Christmas Spirit is alive at St. Augustine School! On Monday we calculated the money that our class raised for the 'Angel Tree Advent Project.' Our class alone raised an impressive $91.25 ! We had lots of fun perusing the site on Amazon to select purchases for the local Boys and Girls Club. To finalize one of our choices we voted but for the most part, there was a lot of agreement on what to purchase. In the end we selected LED room lights, a Crayola art set and a big a box of Lego Creator. We had to remember to leave money in our budget for taxes but in the end we managed to spend all but $3.34. Any leftover money was shared with other classes to help with their purchases. It was definitely a rewarding experience and it gave me a window into which toys are appealing to kids this age. Hmmmmm.
All the classes schoolwide are participating in a 'Goosechase' game this week! This involves a series of Christmas-themed tasks that each class must complete by the end of the week for points. THe team with the highest point score wins! So far we have come up with our team name and motto (The Snowflakes - where each one is unique and special), we've done a Christmas dance, hummed a Christmas tune for Mrs. OBrien to guess, said 'Merry Christmas' in a dozen languages, decorated our door and written a review of our favourite Christmas story (The Grinch Who Stole Christmas).
We continue to read Christmas stories each day at school and work through our kindness-themed class Advent calendar. The students are recording the daily kindness tasks in their agendas so check them out!
Yesterday we dressed up as characters from our favourite Christmas movies. Check out the picture below and see if you can guess who some of us are?
