January 5th - 9th

I hope you had a wonderful holiday break and a very Happy New Year! It was so nice to see everyone back, excited and ready to work! We are looking forward to wonderful things happening in the new year. Our students are eager to get back to reading, writing, and expanding on our Montessori Bank Game.

To ease back into the school week, our 6th grade buddy class came down to work with us. They each brought a fun board game where we worked together, took turns, shared, and collaborated on having a super time!

This week, we played a word bingo game. The students worked with a partner recognizing sight and phonetic words. We had so much fun!

Before the holiday break, Miss Nast worked with the students on American Christmas traditions. We created a video in which the students used some Spanish words to describe these traditions. Check out our short video of kindergarten speaking some Spanish and explaining how many Americans celebrate the Christmas holiday!

December 15th - 19th

What a wonderful way to begin the Christmas break! We worked very hard for the last few weeks on our Christmas Nativity Show. I am very proud of my students! We had a spectacular night sharing the Nativity story with our parents and the next day enjoyed a special day with our grandparents by having snack and making a craft! A huge thank you to our parents and grandparents for making this week extra special!

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

What's the best thing about Christmas? Just ask our kindergarten students and they'll tell you! During our writing workshop time, we read the story, The Best Thing About Christmas by Christine Harder Tangvald. There are so many wonderful things about Christmas. Here are some "best things" from kindergarten!

Kayson says the best thing about Christmas is getting presents, having a Christmas tree and all that stuff!

Miles says the best thing about Christmas is opening presents and having a snowball fight!

Aubrie says the best thing about Christmas is making a snowman and having a snowball fight!

Munkar says the best thing about Christmas is my Christmas tree.

Kaelynn says the best thing about Christmas is when my friends throw snowballs with each other.

Asai says the best thing about Christmas is the Christmas tree.

Seth says the best thing about Christmas is snowball fights and hot chocolate.

Fiona says the best thing about Christmas is thinking about baby Jesus, being with my family and opening presents.

Sophia says the best thing about Christmas is when the angels shared the good news that Jesus was born.

Zara says the best thing about Christmas is when I'm sleeping and Santa delivers presents.

TJ says the best thing about Christmas is a snowball fight.

Nola says the best thing about Christmas is giving presents.

Jack says the best thing about Christmas is presents, sharing, and a snowball fight.

The field trip to New Sharon Convent to see the Nativity was amazing! We saw over 60 beautiful Nativity sets from all over the world. Some were made out of clay, metal, glass, and wood. The fifth graders and kindergarteners were given questions to answer like a scavenger hunt. It was so nice to see how well the students worked together. After we enjoyed the Nativity, we spent a little time playing on the playground next door. You can tell by all the smiles we had lots of fun!
