Dear Mount Madonna School Community,
As the holiday season comes to a close and the excitement of a brand new year is in the air, I find myself thinking about gifts.
Helping my youngest embrace the spirit of giving, I sat down with her a few weeks ago to help her choose Christmas gifts for her friends and family.
She said to me, “Mom, this is so hard, trying to figure out what they would like!”
In a kingdom far, far away — and nowhere near Camelot, Shrek’s swamp or Santa Cruz — lives a king that is struck dumb, wizards past their prime, court jesters, battling sibling minstrels and a score of proper knights and ladies, all characters in the zany and festively fun ride that is Once Upon a Mattress .
Like little birds building nests from materials gathered from the surrounding habitat, first and second graders eagerly collected small sticks, acorns, bits of grass and oak leaves to push into clay and dough that they’d fashioned into small, bowl-shaped-nests. This unique hands-on activity was just one piece of a cross-curricular bird study that included learning about identification and field marks, incubation, developmental stages, habitat and adaptations.
