Christmas is coming!

We are busy getting ready for our Christmas program this Thursday evening.  Our first graders are singing "O Christmas Tree" and "Must be Santa."  We are ready!

One verse of "O Christmas Tree" will be in German.  Heaven help me, but I know French and a little Spanish.  I have never spoken German.  We listened to and practiced with a YouTube video to get our German correct.  I just hope no one in the audience will know if we make a mistake.  I know they will be doing a FANTASTIC job!!  

A kids Santa suit is on its way to my home via Amazon and the boy who will bounce around in it will do a FANTASTIC job also.  He gets to do that for the Preschoolers and Kindergarteners and then for our second song.

This time of year the students are very fidgety.  They cannot wait for school to end this week and be on vacation for 2 weeks.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

October 2nd we visited County Line Apple Orchard in Hobart, IN.  Their school tour is the BEST!  Students learned "P" words -- photosynthesis, pollination, picker-people-upper.  We located the queen bee in one of the glass hives.  We learned the bee dance.

Here are some pictures of our field trip.
