First grade has been buzzing with festive fun and meaningful learning this week! From candy cane-themed science experiments to designing Christmas tree ornaments inspired by simple machines, these activities have sparked creativity and curiosity while seamlessly tying into the curriculum.

The students also read The Giving Snowman, a heartwarming story about kindness and helping others in need. They loved working together to brainstorm ways to spread joy and make a difference during the holiday season.

It’s truly magical to see learning come alive with joy and purpose, especially during this special time of year.
