Reindeer games in math today practicing multiplication.
Day 7 was all about Sweden! We learned about St. Lucia's Day and how kids dress up like St. Lucia and star boys to celebrate. We even had the wonderful opportunity to have a parent helper AND my 3rd grade friends during the craft and traditional food tasting! I would say that the consensus was that gingersnaps are "spicy," but they seemed to be enjoyed! Thank you, Tiffanie, for coming in to help out! It is very appreciated!
Reminder to all parents: Today, Wednesday 12/11/24 is a 1:30 dismissal day.

We voted on if we liked the traditional German sweet bread, stollen! It was a hit with some! Others, not so much!
We learned yesterday about the Italian legend of Old Befana. She fills socks with treats for good children and with coal for bad children in Italy! The kids did a great job making their Befana socks!
We voted this morning on if the kiddos liked the chocolate chip panettone that is a traditional sweet bread from Italy! It was pretty well liked!
The annual 8th grade dinner will be hosted prior to the Christmas concert on December 19th from 4:30-6:15 PM! We hope to see you there and warmly welcome your support to help fund their 8th grade end of the year trip!
Day 5 was all about German traditions! We learned that there is a German tradition where a pickle ornament is hidden on the Christmas tree, so we created trees with a hidden pickle ornament! We gathered at the carpet and worked together to find each other's pickle ornaments!
Christmas Spirit Weeks continue this week and next!
Our craft for Germany was decorating gingerbread men! I loved seeing all their creativity!
Today in STEM we competed to see who could build the tallest Christmas tree. Materials given were paper and tape.
