Hi Kindergarten families! Today we led our first mass and we are so proud at what a great job the children did and we look forward to participating in future masses. During mass today Father Felix blessed our classroom Advent wreath, reminding us that the season of Advent is upon us! It will certainly be a busy few weeks but we are getting excited for all the Advent season brings. We also had another celebration this week as Miss Guevara graduated with her Masters from UBC yesterday! Go Miss G!

- If you notice that your child has not finished the back of their Letter Record page in class, please brainstorm with them three words that begin with that letter. Then, have them write down the three words on the dotted lines and draw their corresponding pictures in the blank box.
