Our Favorite Foods

One of the highlights of composition class for the Ninth Age girls is writing a descriptive paragraph about a favorite food. The girls wrote some fantastic compositions about a wide range of food. Although I would love to bring in each of the foods and do a small sampling, only one food from each homeroom was brought to school today. We had a delicious "entree" of margherita pizza follow by a "dessert" of cookie dough ice cream.  Although all of the girls wished their favorite had "won," we had great sports, and everyone enjoyed the special treat!

The Mile Run

In PE on Friday, the Ninth Age girls ran the mile run. Fortunately, the weather was warmer and sunnier than it has been in a while. The girls were anxious, but excited, all day in anticipation of the run. Even while running up the largest hill of the run, the girls were all smiles!

International Week

Last week Calvert celebrated International Week.  In addition to the activities and speakers already planned, 9B was lucky enough to have a few parents come in and share some additional information about Korea and Brazil. We learned about the importance of celebrating a baby's first birthday in the Korean culture and tried some new foods from Brazil.

The Play

The girls have been working incredibly hard to prepare for Wednesday's big performance. Here is a sneak peak from our dress rehearsal on Friday.

Indoor Recess

Between the snow, ice, rain, muddy fields, and freezing temperatures, the girls of 9B have had their fair share of indoor recesses.  Although being able to get some fresh air is always appreciated, the girls have been quite resourceful recently to make indoor recess as fun as possible.  There are always games of Uno, Apples to Apples Junior, and creative drawing and writing sessions happening in our room; however, a new house was recently constructed in the room.   It is complete with furniture, a family , and decorations.  It started out a simple design, but it is now a two-story house.  If this winter weather continues, there may a be a village in the room before spring finally arrives!
