Reading Buddies from Calvary

Third and fourth graders are reading to students from Calvary Preschool.  Students from the preschool come to MVCA once/week to have our students read books to them and engage in other activities.  We love having them visit each week!

Countdown to Christmas Day 2: Popcorn Snack & a Joke

Q.  What did the cow get for Christmas?
A.  A COWculator!

Q. What do snowmen do on Christmas?
A.  Play with the snow angels!

Q.  What do you call a snowman in the summer?
A.  A Puddle!

Today we enjoyed eating a special treat while sharing a little seasonal humor.  The kindergarteners didn't waste any time with their snacks as they started enjoying the treat before Mrs. Frederick had all her students in the room.  Haha!

Countdown to Christmas: Day 1

Mrs. Hofer and Mrs. Frederick are helping the student "Countdown to Christmas" by giving them some sort of a surprise every school day until Christmas break.  Today was the big kickoff with a field trip to the Master's Corral in Tyndall.  Jeff, animal keeper, loves God so much that he wants others to enjoy some of the animals God created that are not native to South Dakota.  All of his animals are given biblical names and Jeff shares stories about several of them while the students feed and pet them.  We were able to see both dromedary and bractrian camels, alpacas, some very unique looking pheasants, an emu, donkeys, peacocks, and of course, dogs and cats.  We hope you enjoy the picture tour below!

This student discovered how fun it can be to make a mural during free-choice centers.

 

Teachers should be more careful about where they set their coffee mug!

 

 

We're learning to subtract!
