December 10th - 14th

What a busy and exciting time to be an HCA Kindergarten student!  We have been working very hard for the Christmas show!  We have been practicing in our costumes and we make the best Nativity!  And don't forget our role as the barn animals in the Aloha show!  In the classroom, we have been working on writing Christmas sentences using the Montessori movable alphabet.  We created a list of words all about Christmas!  We have been learning about Advent and preparing for Jesus' birthday!  The Kindergarten class wishes you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

December 3rd - 7th

This week the students took a ride on the classroom "Polar Express!"  We read the story, made a classroom train and worked on retelling the story using beginning, middle, and end.  The students had fun wearing their pajamas to school for the day and watching the movie while enjoying a special treat!  We even had tickets!

Polar Express Fun

All Aboard!

Tis the season!  We have been very busy getting ready for our Christmas Show!  You won't want to miss it.  The Kindergartners will act out the Nativity as the Fourth Graders tell the story.  The First, Second, and Third Graders make a beautiful choir and the Pre-Kindergarten class are the joyful angels!

 Also, the Third and Fourth Grade classes will be putting on a wonderful Christmas play as the First and Second Graders help with the singing.  The Kindergarten class are an added bonus this year and will represent the animals in the manger!  A huge thank you to Ms. Brown for all her hard work, dedication, and guidance!  Again, you don't want to miss it!
