But I am not insane.

You've worked really hard 
And followed all the clues, 
You will find out soon
If  too my word I was true.

You might get houses back
I might of told the truth,
I was very impressed 
With your skills as a sleuth.

The time is close now

From the 5 of us  you must decide

If you choose correctly

I will come out from where I hide.

Maybe Ms. Galea or Purdy are the one,

And Mr. A does think stealing is really fun

Stealing your gingerbread houses

Has been so much fun...

Ms. Alletson does really like to steal,

But Gingerbread is not her favourite meal.

Ms. Ghosh is not the Gingerbread theif,

She was in her class making a Christmas wreath.

You may have thought Ms. Landa took them

But they were up too high

She prefers apple pie.

Ms. Redford  was going to put them on her sleigh,

Grinch Clues

You still don't know who I am
And all weekend you will stew,
To make it easier for you
I'll give you some clues.

You may have thought that Ms Ward was the crook

But her and Ms. Wilson were reading books.

Ms Bernardi  was in class banging on a drum

And to the temptation Mr. Thompson did not succumb

This might have been an inside job by Ms. Grubb

But her and Ms. Dhillion were running a club.

An outlaw is something Ms. Sharma is not,

And for Ms. Choukour, stealing isn’t even a thought.

Corrections from last week.... In Red... Sorry...

You might think that the robber is Ms. Baker,

But of the gingerbread houses, she is not the NOT taker.

And your trust, Ms. Monague would not betray.

First Ladies

The First Ladies are meeting on Wednesday at 2:35 in room 210.  

Grinch Clues

I’ll give you some more clues

To help you out today,

Make sure you choose right

Or with me your houses will stay.

I can't wait to eat them

They will taste the best,

Unless you can be successful

On your Grinchy quest.

Mr. Murray may have committed this treason

But him and Ms. Gjorseski  really don’t have a reason.

The law is something Ms. Cardinali would not break

And gingerbread is not something Ms. Mancini would take.

Ms.Elahi would be too afraid to go to jail

And Ms. McDougall’s attempt would be an epic fail.

This would be a risk Ms. Sparling  would not take.

And Ms. Emmitt would rather eat chocolate cake.

Were the houses were taken by the Kinder team?

No...they were too tired to pull of this scheme.

You might think that the robber is Ms. Baker,

But of the gingerbread houses, she is not the taker.

Spirit Day Next Friday

Friday December 21 will be our next School Spirit Day. Let's show our School Spirit by wearing an Ugly Christmas Sweater or just any Ugly Sweater.

Grinch Clues

Hey there my Eldorado peeps,
The time is drawing close
You still haven't guessed right
Who I am, nobody knows.

More staff are gone

Who can I be,

If you guess wrong

Your houses will be in my tummy.

Ms Fresco was too busy fixing her hair

And to accuse Ms. Bakrania would be unfair

Ms. Watts really thinks that stealing stinks.

And you would be wrong to guess it was Mr. Fink.

Ms. Succo was on guard but she fell asleep,

She closed her eyes and started counting sheep.

Ms. Labib came to wake her, but she was too late.

The Grinch already came, and sealed their fate.

SKI TRIP

Hello Eldorado
It is me once again,
I see your search
Has now began.

I'm so very close
To eating your treats,
They look so good
So yummy and sweet.

The time has come

For more clues,

We will eliminate

Another few.

 So listen up close

Cause here we go,

If you guess right

My face I will show....

Mr. Teeter  may have committed this crime.

But him and Ms. Orazem had no time.

Maybe Ms. Dytyniak took your tasty treats

But her and Ms. Kim would never cheat.

  

The ECE’s  would never ruin Christmas day

And your trust, Mr. Monague would not betray.

Ms. Murray and Peseski  had the weekend on their mind,

Besides, to steal, they are too kind.

Grinch Song - Have a listen, what a great song...

Grinch Clues

The Grinch just left me another clue, he/she has eliminated a few staff.

The Custodian’s were cleaning up pee in the gym

And Ms. McGill was singing a Christmas Hymn

The TA’s were busy chasing someone down the hall

While the Office Staff  were making telephone calls.

Ms. Hodgkinson was drinking some chocolate that was hot.

And Ms. Gutierrez is too scared of being caught

Ms. Abdur-Rashid is too afraid of what everyone will think

While Ms. Mansell was washing her hands in the sink

Please cross them off you list.... GOOD LUCK IN YOUR QUEST!!!
