Baking Sweet Rolls for Christmas in Sweden

Girls in Sweden dress up as Santa Lucia

and serve sweet rolls & coffee to their family.

 We studied Christmas in Holland and learned how the children there put their shoes out for Sinterklaas to fill with goodies.  We heard he was close by, so we put our shoes outside the classroom and he came and left us goodie bags!!! Thank you parents for providing all the wonderful candy, books, and party favors,  The children were so excited- it was magical!

We took a pretend airplane ride around the world!  We needed a plane ticket, a passport, and our suitcases!!

 

The students are learning about the human body. 

They had the chance to study a real skeleton thanks to LSU.

Your children enjoyed learning about the heart, lungs, brain, digestive system, bones, & joints. 

 We may have some little scientists among us!!

 

Crazy Hat Day & Spider Projects....the projects are so creative and the children all did a great job sharing them and telling all about them!!  Thanks parents for helping your little ones' research & create.  You are preparing them for a successful future!!

Wow!  The Turkey Projects that came in today are fabulous!!!!  The children were so excited to share them!  They will be on display at the Thanksgiving Luncheon, Thursday, November 19th at 10:30 am in the cafeteria.  Hope to see you all there!!

Thank you to everyone who sent Gummy Bears for our math activities!  The children are really enjoying everything you can do with a Gummy Bear!! In this activity, children had to sort the bears by color, then graph them, and tell which group had more and which had less.  So many wonderful math skills in this activity.  Learning made fun!!

Our whole group reading lessons take place on the carpet.  As we read a story, we discuss the characters, the setting, the problem, make predictions, and retell the story using details.
