Simplicity

This is a very simple idea for your little learners! There are many adaptations available on Pinterest and other sites. You will need to purchase the desired quantity of plastic, refillable, clear baubles from a craft store. I have seen these baubles at, Michaels~

When working with children, I prefer to use the non breakable, plastic style of bauble. Collect a bowl of glitter flakes (to spoon into the opening of the bauble), or cut tinsel bits (stuffable), shredded paper, faux snow, … so many child friendly options!

Happy Holidays from me to you and yours!

Reindeer Facts, Fun, and Games

Christmas, that is! Let this tune (underneath my “post”) help you bring the magic and spirit of the season to life!

Jingle! Jingle! I just received an email from Santa and he wants you to know that he is fattening up his reindeer for their long journey around the world!

Do you know which reindeer this is? Donner? Blitzen?

Your poppy wreaths brightened the day for many families and veterans. Our Principal took the wreaths to the Legion where they were placed on display. Your promise to “remember” and go forward as Ambassadors of Peace had a powerful impact on those people in attendance. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

A Poppy is to Remember

A Poppy is to Remember

This morning we read and discussed the text, A Poppy is to Remember- Heather Patterson. We discussed that the poppy is a symbol to honor brave soldiers, a symbol of peace, love, and hope for a gentler, kinder world. A poppy is to remember those who sacrificed for our freedom. We discussed why we wear the poppy above our hearts. The children shared their own “connections” to the topic. We learned that several children had grandfathers, and great grandfathers who served in wars throughout the world. We discovered that some fathers have served in the military. The children illustrated their connections to the text. We were impressed with the details that the children added to their illustrations.

Illustrations have been added to the slideshow. Writing “samples” will follow.
