What a great field we had today to RT ALDERMAN! Thanks to the families who brought donations for the Mustard Seed. The students were excited to be at RT ALDERMAN and many were pleased to see some old friends who are now in Grade 5. Ask your child to share with you their favorite game they played in the arcade. Thanks to Mrs. Sturgeon, Mrs. Spurrell and Mrs. Litman for volunteering on our field trip!
Here is the link to the video that the students watched today, that explains where the grade 5 and grade 9 students at RT ALDERMAN got their inspiration to create their paper arcade.

Next week is going to fly by I am sure as we are quickly approaching the holidays! We will be spending the days singing carols, working with our buddies, sharing our Origins Projects and on Thursday we would like to have a class party. Similar to what we did for Halloween, we will have a games afternoon, as well we will be watching a video with our buddy class. If students want to bring treats to share with the class they can do so. We would like the snacks to be "relatively" healthy please. Please remember that there should be no nuts in any products brought to school. If students have a board game that they would like to bring and you are OK for them to do so, that would be great!
Also...
The students in our class and Mrs. Sloane's class did an amazing job singing the songs they have been working so hard on! It was great to see so many students and to meet many of their extended family members, such as the aunts, uncles and grandparents who came!! If you were not able to attend, we will find time for you in the week to make your Reindeer family picture!! Here are the videos of the songs along with the students's artwork.
If there was anyone who happened to have video taped the performance of the students singing both the songs and would be willing to send me a copy that would be greatly appreciated. I can then show the video to the students as well as take the recording of the students voices singing and put that into the video with their artwork. If so, could you please email me? achandelsman@cbe.ab.ca? Thanks.
I hope that you have a great weekend as it is supposed to be warming up finally!!(At least on Sunday!)
