SAINT NIKOLAUS*
Normally Nikolaus is
celebrated on December 6th in Germany. Here is some more information
about the tradition. Nikolaustag (St. Nikolaus Day) December
6th. Although this is not a public holiday, it is
taken rather serious In Germany, and people make an effort to celebrate. It
starts the night before the 6th, when kids shine their boots
(Nikolaus-Stiefel) and put them in front of their bedroom doors.(Nowadays
however many families also buy a red plastic or felt boot or craft one
out of card stock.) According to folklore, St. Nikolaus will visit
during the night and put little gifts (oranges, nuts, cookies and chocolates)
into the children's boots if they have been good throughout the year. And
well, if the children haven’t been good, they may get the more disappointing
offering of coal by St Nikolaus' helper by the name of Knecht Ruprecht.
We will be celebrating this
German Tradition on Tuesday Dec 4th at 8.30am in the MPR....

IB:
Where We Are
in Place and Time
In Unit 3 we will look at how life for
students today is different from how it was in the past. We will explore
the ways it has changed and how it has stayed the same.
Weeks 1/2 We will talk
about how homes have changed over time. Students in groups will create 4
different homes from different times. They will also make a timeline
showing how the homes changed.
Weeks 3/4 We will explore how clothing for students has changed from the past and compare it to clothing from today.
Weeks 5/6 Students will do rotations with other classes to explore different activities from the past, i.e. games, making butter, paper dolls, etc...) and discuss their connection to today.
Weeks 3/4 We will explore how clothing for students has changed from the past and compare it to clothing from today.

This unit, we are practicing how to
think about things that have already happened. Events and our own behavior that
we are either proud of or that we want to change the next time.
Our focus attitude is:
Appreciation
