Happy Sinterklaas Day!

All week the students have been learning about Sinterklaas and how people in the Netherlands celebrate Sinterklaas Day on Dec. 5 and 6. We even had a chance to video conference with my mom to learn some Dutch and ask questions about Sinterklaas. After writing a note for Sinterklaas and leaving carrots for his horse we hoped and wished that he would find us way over in Canada. Guess what? He did! The students were overjoyed to find treats in their shoes on Friday morning. The speculas and paper notten were a big hit with all, as were the Sinterklaas games we played and the home-made gift exchange we had. Vroljke Kerstmis!
