Sharing The Christmas Spirit

The students of MVCA once again shared their musical songs this morning. They traveled to the Care Center here in Yankton and sang to a room full of the residents.

Caroling at The Center

The MVCA students brought Christmas cheer to The Center in Yankton yesterday. The kids shared the songs from their Christmas musical, "Shepherds, Sheep, and a Savior."

Reading Buddies

The 2nd and 3rd graders shared their love of reading this week with the students of Headstart here in Yankton. Each MVCA student was paired up with either 1, 2, or 3 preschool age children and read a variety of books to them. Although, the MVCA kids found out that 4 & 5 year olds do have short attention spans and do get the wiggles. It taught our students great patience and kindness. And ~ now they know how Miss Moline feels when they get the wiggles in class.

It took about 4,025 cranks and 35 minutes to make this butter snack, but it was worth it! These students learned to churn butter which was then spread on freshly baked bread. Mmm! What a special treat!

The kindergarten and 1st graders made Christmas ornaments with a classroom volunteer on Monday. Many of the students even took extra supplies home to make another ornament with their families.

First Snowman of the 2010-11 School Year

And, as you can see, it took most of the snow on the playground to make it! The kids are anxious for more snow!! Visions of snowpiles and snowdrifts are dancing in their heads ~ memories from last winter.
