Social Studies: We had a short lesson about St. Nicholas Day. It's origin is in Holland and traditions for celebrating include placing out wooden shoes at night in hopes that St. Nick will find them on his visit. Children leave carrots to feed his horses, during the night he comes and while the horses eat the carrots, he fills them with candy, coins, or treats. Legend has it that if you have been a little naughty, he instead leaves coal.
Art: Students created and decorated wooden shoes out of construction paper which we left overnight, hoping that we will be visited by St. Nicholas while we are home tonight.
Math: Today we continued work on our Book of 6. We made our cover, tracing the title and creating a pattern along the border. Those who finished their covers continued to create unique formations of six on the remaining five pages of their book.
Music: Miss Casselini and Miss Ciampa led music today. We sang "The Dreidel Song" and did the "Reindeer Pokey" (similar to the hokey pokey).
