Saint Nicholas

Today December 6th is St. Nicholas Day. St. Nicholas arrives on a donkey and leaves treats in children's shoes that are left beside the fireplace. The children in return leave hay and carrots for the donkey. We put our shoes outside by our fireplace while we completed our work and St. Nicholas came and visited!!! We were so excited. 

Santa delivered an elf to our class on December 1 and we names him Snowflake. He also delivered a CFIE Santa Cam to the school. 

We also celebrated Bentley and Quincy being students of the month for October and November.

Busy Week

We were all a little tired but happy to be back in school after a long break off for Thanksgiving. We began learning all about Christmas Around the World and reviewed our classroom sight words.

On Thursday this week we came back to our classroom after computer lab and found a gift from Santa to our classroom. We received an elf on the shelf and after lots of discussion and voting we decided to name him Snowflake. He will be a new and fun addition to our classroom through the Christmas season. We also celebrated our International Christmas Fair. It was a wonderful night with ornaments for sale, pictures with Santa, all you can eat pancakes, and a silent auction.

Here is our classroom quilt. Soleil's family made the winning bid and
was able to take it home. 

Friday was a great day with PJ Day to help our school music program AND a popsicle party. Yes, you read that right. Our class had the most eagle feathers for K-2 grades and was given a popsicle party from the office. We were very excited.
