Hello from Joussard School. This is David Giroux reporting. This is my last week of doing so. I like this job and hope I get to do it again sometime.

In kindergarten, our students have been busy getting ready for our Christmas concert. They are very excited to announce that they will be singing about Santa Claus on a roof top.

Our Grade 1 students report that they are having so much fun doing projects in class. They are currently working on a numbers project and a rhyming project.

You might not believe it, but our students in Grade 2 are very knowledgeable about osteoporosis! They were in charge of November’s assembly and decided to do a presentation on how we all can keep our bones healthy. They did an excellent job, with lots of lively music and we were all doing a ‘bones dance’ by the end of the assembly. Lots of learning and fun!

In Grade 3, our students have been busy learning how to make inferences from information provided. They are also learning how to write friendly letters and are starting with letters to Santa Claus. Everyone is eagerly hoping for a reply from the North Pole.

Grade 4 students are busy learning about the boreal forest. They had a presentation from the Boreal Bird Centre this week. It taught the students so much about the forest and the wildlife that live in it.

Our Grade 5 students have been busy being weathermen and weatherwomen! They recently built weather vanes and then went outside to determine the force of the wind in different areas of the school grounds using their vanes. They found this very interesting.

In my Grade 6 class, we all had a great day lounging around in our pajamas. We still got lots of work done, but we enjoyed coming to school with soft, snuggly pajamas.

I would like to let everyone know that our Christmas Concert will be next week, Dec. 8 at 7 p.m. We hope everyone will attend. With our new gym, we have lots of room!

Thanks for reading my reports each week. Please do so with next month’s reporter as well.
