Clownfish Class

We wanted to take this opportunity to thank our generous parents of our class for donating gift cards.  We were able to purchase Christmas items for the children and they're thrilled to begin the creativity.

The Kindergarten students are learning about The Season of Advent

Sunday, November 27th marked the beginning of Advent.  Your child, along with the rest of the school celebrated the event on Monday and will continue celebrating every subsequent Monday until Christmas Day. Please ask your child about their experience to reinforce the meaning of the Season.

The Advent wreath consists of 3 purple, 1 pink and I white candle. The 4 coloured candles represent the 4 weeks leading up to Christmas Day. The white candle is lit on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

The first candle lit is purple and represents HOPE.  The second candle lit is also purple and represents PEACE. The third candle lit is pink and represents JOY.  The forth candle lit is purple and represents LOVE.

BELOW ARE THE WREATHS EACH STUDENT HAS CREATED AND WILL CONTINUE TO "LIGHT" EVERY MONDAY.
