English Language Learners in Mrs. Caneen's class created presentations on winter holidays.

Students learned about the Winter Solstice (Yule), Las Posadas, Kwanzaa, St. Lucia Day, Hanukkah, and Chinese New Year.

Mrs. Ritz’s class celebrated learning about dairy farms and their adopted calf, Dahlia by making butter this morning. They begin with liquid (cream) and shook it until it became a solid (butter). They enjoyed the butter with cornbread, and some kids even tried a sip of buttermilk.

Moments like these remind educators why they do what they do—it’s all about creating joy and unforgettable memories for the students. The excitement and pure happiness in a child’s eyes, whether it’s from spotting a mischievous Grinch or marveling at a gingerbread surprise, are truly priceless.
All was calm in the office ( mostly) the. A student comes running into the office, full of urgency and excitement, shouting at the PRO, “Hurry, the Grinch is destroying everything!” is one for the books. This student drug the PRO to the class and wanted the grinch arrested!!! (Video in our story.)
It’s these imaginative, magical moments that stay with children for years to come—and with the educators who help make them possible. What a heartwarming and memorable day!
It looks like Mrs. Amos’ class had a fun-filled time with their reindeer games, and the addition of Mr. Starkey photobombing the class Grinch picture must have been hilarious! Moments like these are what make school memories so special. It’s great to see the holiday spirit alive and well in the classroom!
NMS Characters being characters! They are having so much fun with this!
