Our December holiday festivities at Far Horizons Montessori began with
our traditional December Pajama Day. Students arrived in pj’s and fuzzy slippers eagerly
awaiting our annual reading of the Polar Express by our guest readers.
and our 5 & 6 year olds had time to finish up their fairy tale story chains just in time to adorn their family Christmas trees.
Finally, It was story time.
. It was time to discover the magic of the first bell of Christmas.
Following our story, friends visited over cookies, and hot
chocolate with marshmallows before beginning typical classroom activities.
Other December activities included stringing candy and
cookie necklaces, decorating gingerbread houses, writing letters to Santa,
enjoying a surprise morning of pirate fun, and practicing for our
winter musicals.
Setting the
mood for our upcoming winter musical – “A Pirates’ Christmas”
During this wonderful month of giving, our children helped to make beautiful silhouette
pictures of their faces for their parents. Our elementary students also participated
in a two week long walk-a-thon to raise money to support the charitable work of
Open Arms. Through pledges from their
parents, our students were able to raise over $260.00 for sheets, toiletries,
and school supplies for young people in need.
