Countdown to Christmas - Day ??

We lost count as to what number this day should be labeled. I guess we are having too much fun and lost track!! Today, we first had a pizza party at Hy-Vee and then Dan Crick brought his 4-wheeler and sled to give the kids rides around the school lot. The kids definitely gave this activity a thumbs up!!

Merry Christmas from the MVCA students and staff!! Please be safe as you venture out to your Christmas gatherings this week. It sounds like it will be a very memorable white Christmas.

First Day of Winter Scavenger Hunt

The students of MVCA headed out on the Auld-Brokaw Trail in search of items that might be found on the first day of winter. Items on their list included a rabbit, squirrel, bird, pinecone, feather, icicles, frozen water, leaves still on a tree, seed heads, and animal tracks. Only pictures available at this blogging time is from Mrs. Nelson's group.

P.E. Fun

When it is sub-zero outside it is time to get creative and have p.e. indoors. Mr. Conkling does a great job keeping the kids going even when forced to move indoors.

"Snow" Much Fun

With the snow we received last week the man who cleans our parking lot was able to create a good sized snowpile for the students to play on. Winter attire has been a staple on the playground since the beginning of December.

Day 7 - Countdown to Christmas

Terry and Jolynn Tennant rounded up some canning jars and the kids filled them with the dry ingredients for cowboy cookies. Not all the chocolate chips made their way into the jars! There was some sampling going on amongst the students.
