We will be spotlighting a Student of the Week from each classroom. These students receive a certificate and prize from Mrs. Peery with the chance to be drawn out at the end of each month for a special activity with the Principal. The focus for the month of December is "Honesty".  The students are selected by their teachers as they see their students show honesty here at school.  Here are the Students of the Week for December 4.

The feast included the students setting the tables, practicing table manners and teaching our parents how to have proper manners, and eating pumpkin pie and other small treats. It was fun for both the students and parents who came!

This week we read a book called, "David's Drawings." In the book a little boy starts to draw a picture and then he lets others in his class add more detail to his picture. We practiced working together as a table to create a picture. They discussed what they would draw, everyone helped create it, and then we presented them to the class. It was a fun day in Kindergarten!
