There was a lot of excitement in the air today in first grade. It started with a visit from St. Nicholas. We talked about how if boys and girls put a shoe out on the feast of St. Nicholas, he will come and fill it with surprises. So, before watching a video on the life of St. Nicholas, we put our shoes in the hallway. And sure enough, St. Nicholas did come and filled our shoes with a candy cane and pencil.
That excitement carried over into our morning of learning. We reviewed our sight words for the week, reading words with long vowels, and reading our story.
The excitement continued this afternoon as we attended the annual Christmas program. We totally enjoyed listening to and at times jamming along with the band. They played some of our favorite Christmas songs and some new ones. After the band concert, it was time for the Christmas play. We enjoyed watching the junior high students tell the story of the first Christmas.
I hope your day was filled with as much excitement as ours was.
