English Language Learners in Mrs. Caneen's class created presentations on winter holidays. The students then presented their holidays and facilitated an activity to enrich the learning of students in classes around NMS. Students learned about the Winter Solstice (Yule), Las Posadas, Kwanzaa, St. Lucia Day, Hanukkah, and Chinese New Year. 

What an exciting day in Mrs. Piekarski's class! 🎄✨ Fourth-grade students worked together to complete a Christmas-themed escape room. It was a fantastic way to combine problem-solving with holiday cheer!

Mrs. Batton’s 2nd grade class teamed up with Miss Batton’s 6th grade English class to dive into a ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas project. Together, they strengthened reading comprehension, expanded vocabulary, and learned the true power of teamwork!

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!

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.
