Ned The Nutcracker

This week at The Academy, our students “traveled” to Germany as part of our Holidays Around the World unit to explore the history and tradition of nutcrackers. During our journey, the children practiced early math skills by organizing nutcrackers from smallest to largest—such a fun way to build measuring and comparison skills through play! To wrap up the experience, each class helped bring a little magic to our halls by painting a 6-foot nutcracker that will proudly decorate our school for the holidays. Our students loved being part of creating something so big and festive!

Learning through play + holiday traditions = pure preschool joy! 🎄✨
