Winter+Holidays

One of the joys of December is that the first graders in Ms. Morin’s class learn about many different holidays and celebrations. Learning about familiar holidays that each child celebrates, as well as celebrations around the world helps to broaden and strengthen the children’s awareness of both themselves and of others.

We rejoice in our own traditions and learn about the traditions of others. Young children are so curious. They thrive on the acquisition of new knowledge and delight in learning more about their friends here in school.

The new Lower School laptops are a regular and integrated presence in our first grade classroom. On this page you can see the children’s creative posters made with Glogster, an intriguing and rather advanced website.

We learned through reading books, discussions, parent presentations, crafts and writing.

Please take a look at these posters, each focusing on various holidays and celebrations that we have studied this month.
