In our big class meeting we created a visual “Community Tree” to which we added leaves with our thoughts on what our learning community should look like and sound like.
We are making GREAT progress on learning our holiday songs! We can’t wait to perform them for you.
International Holiday Celebration – Elementary and Primary students will be performing a few songs for parents at our International Holiday Celebration
which will be at 10 AM on December 21st.
The Performance will be in Paradise Skate, the potluck in Poppy Hall.

Tuesday, December 20 is PJ day! Come to school warm and snuggly in your winter pajamas. Kids are welcome to bring a stuffy that can fit in their backpack.
The Montessori learning mats could use a spin in a washing machine. We would appreciate it if someone could take the mats home over the break to launder them. Email Mrs. Chapman if you are able: jchapman@
