Christmas Celebration

Christmas time is the most wonderful time of the year! This year was extra special for the students of room 23. We were fortunate enough to have Mr. Bankson (a cabinet maker) come in and help the students build picture frames for their parents. We had a wonderful time, and the students learned some wood-working skills. Our last day before break was filled with pizza, cookies, cupcake, cinnamon rolls, and all kinds of goodies. We finished the day with a very exciting gift exchange. Thank to all parents and students for making it a memorable time. Be sure to check out the pictures; there are some great ones. You will also find pictures from our school's Christmas program. Click here for more photos.

Gingerbread Creations: Day 1

As the holiday season is approaching, what better way to celebrate it than to build a gingerbread house from scratch! Mr. Ross supplied the foundational elements and the students brought in their own decorations based on the design of their house. They look absolutely wonderful after day 1! We will finish them soon; they will be judged by Mr. Skinner!

As a higher level thinking activity, Mr. Ross asked the students to take an ordinary item (like a harmonica) and create an alternate use for it. The students did a wonderful job creating some fun advertisements and some pretty interesting uses for ordinary things. These activities are exciting, engaging, and spark creativity.
