December-Step Into Christmas-Elton John

Faculty ready to dance!

I love the week before Winter Break.  The halls are festive, everyone is a bit more cheerful than usual, people seem to take more time to appreciate each other, there are cool things happening in classrooms, the art department hosts their annual jewelry sale and the week culminates in the Bozeman High talent show in which students display all kids of cool talents, and the faculty always does a sweet dance routine.

One of my favorite things this week is that the early morning orchestra classes set up by various doors around the school and play holiday music as everyone is entering the building.  The impact this has on the tone of the school is remarkable.







Participating in the chestnut toss as part of the Latin class' Saturnalia celebration.  I learned during this time the slaves wore red hats and were treated as equals with their masters.
  

Bozeman High hosts a professional art gallery and this year, the art teachers have displayed their own work.  It was so impressive and also such a great motivator for art students to see their teachers' art.




Geography classes were studying urban development patterns and guessing cities based on ethnic patterns, this game was hard!!
 

The World Language classes host a multicultural holiday festival the last day before break.  Each class learns a verse of "Silent Night" and they sing it in a round so it changes from Spanish to Latin to French to German, it was beautiful.
