We spent the week making energy balls, smoothies, and guacamole.

We had Megan Withem (Liam's mom) visit our class this week and help us answer our focus question. Megan is a clinical dietitian that helps patients address their health and lifestyle needs and goals. She helped pre k learn about the 5 food groups by playing sensory and matching games as well as bringing hummus and veggies for us to try out. We had so much fun and learned a lot about the things our bodies need to stay healthy! Thank you, Megan!

This time of year it is easy to get caught up in the rush of the Christmas holiday and lose focus on what is the true meaning of Christmas. I am so blessed to be able to teach our students about Jesus’ birth and talk openly about God at St. James. The children have memorized songs, lines, and moving parts which requires a tremendous amount of focus and commitment. It isn’t easy to perform in front of a large audience especially when it is full of your loved ones. I am very proud of their determination and hard work.

Our middle school students invited PreK to their pumpkin patch. They wrote, and illustrated stories that they read to the children. The students got to take a pumpkin from the patch, and rode back to the classroom on a hayride.
