Grade One -Two The Christmas spirit is alive and well here. We are learning many Christmas words at our reading centres. We are also enjoying sharing the Christmas stories we have written. Paula Kwan wrote this one : One day, Santa was watching TV and he got hungry. He went to the kitchen. He looked in Mrs. Claus' fridge. He found Mrs. Claus' cookies in the fridge. He ate and ate. Then he ate and ate and ate and ate. He ate so many cokkies that he got fat. He dropped the galss bowl. Mrs. Claus ran down and said, "Look at yourself. What have you done to my bowl?" He rode on his sled. He fell down. He's going to lose weight. Grade Two -Three This class is right in the Christmas spirit and are going to Christmas activities each afternoon.
