Grade 3/4 - Mr. Yee At this time of year everyone is coun- ting pennies to see if there are enough to buy all friends a present.

One activity everyone is soundly work- ing on, is the construction of an in- strument that can play five notes. Some strange new creations are rumoured to be surfacing soon.

Eta a Cnsisfmas See B ROOKSIDE BROADCAST Learning Resource Times continue to be busy and exciting in the resource room. Some primary students have been especially fortunate as they have been snatched with a Cross - Grade Tutor (Grade 7 or 8) . It can be a wonderful experience for both the tutor (i.e. responsibility, friendship, positive in- fluence) and for the student (i.e. rein- force skills, co-operation, special atten- tion) . As well, our adult volunteers are an integral part of the school and are much appreciated by the students and teachers. Keep up the good work! Pro- gramming has included computers, in- 'vidual math programs, reading groups, class assistance, counselling and Grade 2 can be proud of the big books we have made. French - Madame Ringuette All the students are busy learning how to sing "Christmas Carols" in French. One of our favourites is Bonne Armee Rock (Jingle Bell Rock). Grade 3 and 4 having just successfully completed their unit tests are starting to learn new ex- pressions and words in French. Grade 5/6 are working hard to perfect their dialogue presentations which will be per- formed in front of their class next week! Joyeux Noel from all of us! Library - Mrs. Clarke Santa's Sleigh visited the library this week as a Grade 3 interest group work- ed with classification and creative think- ing.
