Back to Day 5 of Countdown to Christmas

Hot off the press are the pictures from Day 5 of Countdown to Christmas. Dave Hubbs and Emily Barton came to MVCA with woodworking kits for the kids to assemble. The students made bird houses, butterfly houses, and bird feeders.

For this student progress was going well on her birdhouse and she thought she had a knowledgable woodworker as a partner. Until...

things got a little crooked, fingers got poked and hit, and her project had to be shelved overnight to be glued and clamped.

Countdown to Christmas - Day 6

Day 5 pictures are still in process, so we skip to Day 6. Today the students traveled down to The Center here in Yankton and sang all the songs from their musical for the people gathered there. It was a wonderful time and everyone was very appreciative of our time and the talents of the students.

Can't have Christmas without a manger scene! The second graders are busy cutting straw to put a realistic touch to their dioramas.

Countdown to Christmas - Day 4

Countdown to Christmas - Day 3

The students were on a quest for a pot of "gold" found somewhere "cold" this afternoon. It wasn't so easy as there were 16 clues to read and solve on this scavenger hunt. Clues were located through out the building and the gold was ice cream located in the freezer.
