Tis the season! Our theme this week is A Christmas Carol. Each page features one of our students dressed as a character from the book. The background on each page was painted in art with our art teacher Judy and some of her students. It’s so great and we love it! Joy put together some pretty terrific costumes also that you don’t want to miss!

International Ninja Day is December 5, so we learned all about ninjas this week! We learned so many things that we never knew about ninjas. Although they have many tools, their most important tool was actually an insect! They also were able to tell time in a very unique way. You’ll have to read the book to find out how 🙂 We have 2 of our very own ninjas on the front and back of the book too. Check it out!

To celebrate National Take A Hike Day (November 17) we are learning about Wyoming. Wyoming has lots of cool places to take a hike like Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. We learned about some common animals that are seen in Wyoming and also found out that the national food is pinto beans. Our own Joy took a trip to Wyoming this summer with her family so we featured some of her pictures in the book as well. Take a look to learn about this beautiful state!

We’re celebrating Veteran’s Day this week by learning about all of the different brances of the military: Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard. There are a couple of facts about each of the branches in the book and we have students that are dressed up like a soldier from each branch as well. It’s pretty cute, if we say so ourselves…and we do 🙂 Check it out and help us celebrate all those in the military.
