Thankful Thoughts

During our study of Thanksgiving, we talked a lot about being thankful for the blessings that you have been given in your life. Our Kindergarten students created an iMovie so that you could hear about the things that they are thankful for. Please listen and enjoy. Leave us a comment and let us know what you are thankful for. Thanks!



We also decorated a turkey so that he could be saved from his Thanksgiving day demise. We created a show so that you could see their disguises. Enjoy!

Music Around the World--A Christmas Edition--Week 7--Germany

Wow! What an exciting day we had today at our seventh morning of our Music Around the World Club! Today we learned about another wonderful country--Germany! We focused on how Germany is the birthplace of the Christmas tree and learned one of their favorite German songs, "O Christmas Tree." After reviewing "This Little Light of Mine" and "Let it Be Christmas Everywhere", we were treated to a special guest, Miss Todd's Dad, Mr. Todd. He played his guitar for us and sang, "Sneaky Snake", a song that he and Miss Todd sang together when she was our age.  After enjoying Mr. Todd's presentation, we had the opportunity to create string things and washboards. We used these instruments to accompany our song, "O Christmas Tree!" You can listen to our rousing rendition in the show we made below. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think about our fun day!

Don't forget to join us on Thursday night, December 7th at 7:00 P.M. for our presentation of our Music Around the World Celebration Night! You are going to enjoy seeing all of the instruments that we have created and songs that we have learned on our musical journey around the world!

All the Leaves are Falling Down

This week we studied about fall and explored fall leaves. We had the chance to go outside and collect fall leaves. Then, we participated in exciting learning games where we compared them and sorted them by shape and size. Finally, we took the time to be creative and used our leaf collections to make leaf buddies. Here are some pictures from our leaf adventures. We hope you like them! Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!
