Special Presentations

The mom of Madison Younan and Tristan (Olive class) gave a presentation on the Middle East - specifically Jordan. Madison and Tristan wore their traditional dress as their mom shared with the school about her country and neighboring countries as well. We practiced counting 1 to 10 in Arabic, saying hello and goodbye, learned about specific foods and even practiced dancing! Thanks again for sharing!

SMA staff presented Diwali. It was a beautiful display. The teachers dressed in their traditional attire as they shared how girls and boys dress for the occasion, foods eaten, how homes are decorated, samples of rangoli, and more. Thank you teachers for sharing!

Halloween

Your precious "darlings" dressed for the parade!

Our poem for the month: NO sunshine, lots of rain, No warm day, snow again! No bugs, No bees, No leaves on trees. You must remember - it is NOvember!

Happy November everyone, and thanks again for being here! Until next time...

Brightest Blessings!
