La classe de Mme Nielsen

 Yup, tried to learn to play today... If you know how, please play with your child. If you used to know, here are the rules of Cribbage  It's a great game that many of the grandparents in Canada know how to play. If you don't have a board, there are some cribbabe board apps available. Other games we've been playing at school include chess , battleship , connect 4 , and mancala . 

 Sorry about my lousy communication of late (other than field trips, I mean). I've had this stupid (pardon my strong language) cold for a month and a half!! And it's not getting better! Anyway, there's lots going on this month, so here is the newsletter/calendar thing. I sent them home on Friday, on dark green paper. I haven't sent home a missing work email in a while, and I won't before break. Report cards are coming digitally, though.  Permission slips for bowling have already gone home, but I haven't sent the ones for skating, yet.  I put the first week back in January on this calendar, too. I also included some half birthdays, since not everyone is lucky enough to have their birthday during the school year. I also put my son's birthday on the calendar, since it's a milestone. Wish me luck in the passenger seat of my own car!! In case I don't check in again before the break, Happy Whatever Holiday You Celebrate Even If It's No Holiday At All,

 Here is what is happening this week and next, so far as we know. . . Life is full of unexpected surprises. Please email me if you would like a paper copy. Here are the extracurricular activities, including the teachers responsible for each one, happening before school, after school, and at big recess at school.
