STUDENT-LED CONFERENCES:
This term we will have Student-led conferences in lieu of individual appointments. A Student-led conference is a time for your child to share his/her learning with you. Your child will show you what they have been learning and discuss their progress and goals. We hope to see you either the evening of Tuesday, November 28 from 6:00 -8:00 pm or the morning of Wednesday, November 29 from 8:00 -11:00 am. A ballot will be given to each child/adult who attends and their names will be entered in a draw to win a LEGO kit. Good luck to all.(SEE INFORMATION SHEET THAT IS COMING HOME)

FAMILY BULLETON BOARD
We would like to create a bulletin board at Aldershot Elementary to highlight our families within our school. Could you please send in a photograph of your family so we may add that to our display. (Your photo will be returned). No matter how you celebrate family it is an important part of our traditions. Even though the holidays are fast approaching, please feel free to share a family tradition from any season.
WINTER CONCERT:
Come join us, Thursday, December 7, 2017, 9am and 1pm. for a Music Showcase called; "Bells, Songs and Dance". Our concert will feature season centered music that displays music concepts students have been learning throughout the term in music class. These concepts include; rhythm, melody, pitch, dynamics and movement. Primary/1’s will display their knowledge about high/ low and loud/ quiet music. Some classes will also move to and play on a steady beat. Grade 2/3's will share their understanding of rhythms (half notes and tika-tika) and solfege. They will also demonstrate their ability to move in partner and circle activities. Grade 4/5's will feature their new rhythm (ti-tika) through instrument and movement pieces. The Showcase will culminate with an all school song. We look forward to your attendance!
