December


Each year, the school chooses a special theme for the month of December.  This year, our theme was 
"Oh Christmas Tree"
Before Winter Break, the children performed a Holiday Program for their parents.  The songs incorporated the theme "Oh Christmas Tree".  

Fun Food Friday
For Fun Food Friday, we made a Christmas Tree with Apple Cheerios, Marshmallows and Cinnamon candy.





Show & Tell
For Show & Tell, the children were given a Christmas tree to decorate.  We loved seeing all the colors, glitter and even family photos hung on their Christmas tree.



Holiday Program Time
The children were so anxious and excited about their parents coming to see them sing.  So we thought they could benefit from some extra play time in the gym.



Then it was time for the parents to come for the program.  And they sang...BEAUTIFULLY in their own way!!!

Halloween!!!!


Science Experiments
The week of Halloween, the Kindergartners and 1st graders enjoyed several Halloween Science Experiments.  First, we took many different chocolate candy bars and predicted which one would sink or float.  Then, we tested our predictions.  Next, we had frozen hands with Halloween treats inside.  After pouring salt onto the hands, we watched them melt so we could get a treat!



 Ghost Volcanoes
We combined baking soda and vinegar to make little ghost volcanoes. 



Halloween Parade
We had our annual Halloween Parade with all different types of costumes, especially from the popular movie Frozen.













For Fun Food Friday, we made Witches Brew!!  It was delicious with our pizza lunch!
