Today's German Christmas activities started with eating currywurst and pomfrittes. Later, the third graders found oranges and Kinder chocolate in their P.E. shoes, just as St. Nicholas puts treats in shoes in Germany on December 6th. We rounded out our day by Learning to sing the first verse to O' Tannenbaum in German and went Christmas Caroling around town. Frohliche Weihnachten and Frohes Neues Jahr from the Avon 3rd grade class!

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! Thanks for your support of Avon School. See you back here on January 7th.

The 3rd graders experienced a German Christmas today. Mrs. Knodel lived there when she was their age, and wanted to share her experiences with them. They were given passports (to use as journals and record their experiences,) and worked their way through "security" before boarding Pirate airlines and flying over the Atlantic Ocean and landing in Germany. They worked on map skills, visited a Christmas Market where they had to solve word problems about shopping with Euros, made adventure wreaths, and wrote letters to Christkindl. Stay tuned for more adventures coming tomorrow!!

It's National Twin Day! We have a few in our building! Some are missing their partner today, so they get an air hug🙂

The Creative English students have been hard at work writing and illustrating their own Christmas children's books. This week, they had the opportunity to share them with some of the younger students here!

Congratulations to the Quiz Bowl Team. They advanced to the final eight teams and will compete in Mitchell on January 11th!

Thank you for understanding!!!

Students in grades 8-12 showed off their book projects today in English. They had to read a book of their choice independently and create a holiday decoration that represented at least 2 literary elements (plot, setting, theme, characters, symbolism, etc.). Mrs. Hubbell enjoyed seeing what they created and hearing all about their books!
