We had a fun and eventful week to gear up for our time off.
Our holiday party was such a success! The kids played games, made snow globes, ate yummy snacks, and even had a winter gear relay! Thank you to all of our parent volunteers who made it so much fun.
In math, we continued to play the many games we have learned in class, such as top it, monster squeeze, the domino matching game, and roll and record. These games focus on skills like addition, counting on, number association, and number writing.
To complete our gingerbread story study, the kids colored, cut, and glued the story in the correct order to retell the traditional version as a literacy activity.
We completed our holiday study with Kwanzaa, St. Lucia, and Christmas this week. Elin's mom came in to teach us about St. Lucia. The kids got to dress in traditional Swedish robes and they brought pepparkaker cookies and saffron buns to share with the class!
Mark your calendars for the second annual NPES "Math Mania" family night!

Thank you so much for your wonderful holiday gift. I cannot begin to express my gratitude. I am so thankful to all of you for your generosity, support, and amazing children. It has been such a joy to work with all of you and your children this year. Thank you for sending excited and motivated learners to school each day.
