Downtown Field Trip - Dec 10th
Over the past few weeks we've been talking about homelessness in Toronto in an effort to build empathy. I feel privileged to have such an open-minded group of students who consistently show compassion and a desire to help throughout our talks about poverty. I'm very excited to head downtown with this fabulous group to spread some compassion and kindness. Thank you for lending us your time and sending in wool socks!
We'll leave school at 9AM and head downtown via subway. We're planning to hand out bagged lunches, wool socks and kindness cards at Allan Gardens, Covenant House & Sojourn House. Feel free to follow us on Twitter (@ChrisTrott7), where I'll be posting messages throughout the day and inviting First Responders to meet us (EMS, Toronto Police & Toronto Fire).
Take a peak at the photos below showing students budgeting and planning ingredients for our bagged lunches!
Holiday Market - Dec 15th & 16th
Flyers were sent home on Thursday sharing news about our SLT's initiative; the Clairlea Holiday Market! Students are asked to bring in gently used toys, books or anything "gift-worthy" over the coming week. On the 15th and 16th, students will be able to shop for the holidays, purchasing gently used items for cheap! All proceeds will go towards the SLT's eco initiative of getting a 2nd water filtration station on the 2nd floor.
French Book Fair - Dec 16th - 19th
We're really excited for our French book fair and invite students to come shop at recesses and lunch the last week of school.
Winter Concert - Dec 18th & 19th
Last but not least, Ms Purvis and her crew are putting together the final details of our winter concert. Our class will perform on the evening of the 19th. We're looking forward to seeing you there!
Have a great week!
