Our Kindergarten students went on a virtual field trip to a dairy farm named Old McDonald's Farm in northern New York. They toured a dairy farm, checked in on newborn calves, and learned how cows are milked and how milk is transferred to trucks to be made into milk products like cheese and Cheese-it's. Our students also adopted and named a calf! Our calf was born just after midnight this morning, and we named her Cookie! The Kindergarten students will receive updates on Cookie throughout the school year!
We have some more families participating in our Kindness Campaign. Don't forget to share your pictures with Mrs. Moritz so you can be entered into the drawing for a gift certificate on Friday! There is a link in Seesaw to submit pictures.

Mrs. Vilstrup's class is counting down the last 12 days before Christmas break with a "12 Days of Kindness" countdown. They kicked off the 12 days of kindness by reading The 12 Days of Kindness by Jenna Lettice. Each day, students will have a kindness focus which includes some of the following activities: smile at someone in the hallway, write your principal a sweet note, play with a new friend at recess, and complete school work with a good attitude. The students look forward to their kindness task each day!
