Hello again! This past week, we began differentiating between conifer and deciduous trees. Back in October, we asked every child to bring in leaves; this weekend, we ask every child to find a small (less than 5 inches) conifer twig. Let's see how many different kinds of needles we can collect! We thank those who have brought in the gifts for St. Agnes families. We remind everyone that those gifts are due on December 17. Our virtue for the month is generosity, so please remind your child of the importance of giving to those in need. As a way to prepare for the birth of Jesus, every student will come home with a bag of straw. As they perform good deeds, a piece of straw can be collected into the paper bag, to be placed in the manger awaiting Jesus at the end of Advent. This is a significant way to prepare young children for the true meaning of Christmas. On Thursday, December 6, the Montessori Children's House celebrated St. Nicholas Day. Ms. Rachel read his biography, and the children set out their shoes, awaiting a gift from St. Nicholas. They even pretended to fall asleep while waiting to be called to check their shoes in the hallway! Here are some photos:
