Our 5th graders were able to test their skills out on the ice today! I wonder if we have any future olympians on our hands?!

Our 3rd graders had a fun surprise left in their shoes as they learned about Christmas in Holand. 

"In Holland the Christmas celebration begins before December 5th. Saint Nicholas, or Sinter Klaas, as the children call him, come sailing intot he harbor of many Dutch cities. He brings his white horse and his companion "Black Pete". There is a parade and the children shout as the procession winds around the streets. 

Ms. Garcia and Ms. Vasquez kindergarten class was lucky enough to be recipiants of handmade blankets from Grandma Epperson! This sweet grandma makes one for each student in this class and today was the day the class was able to meet her and recieve this very special gift. What a wonderful tradition she has done with Ms. Garcia. She has made blankets every Christmas season for the last 10 years! We appreciate Grandma Epperson so much and the thoughtfulness and generosity she has shared with our students at Apple Valley.
