Welcome to Nutcracker of the Month. Our first Nutcracker for

this December is a very sparkly nutcracker with a wood staff, afuzzy beard, and fuzzy hair. It has a blue velvet cape with goldrick-rack, blue shining eyes, a black mustache and a red sparklesuit with a gold crown. The crown has red jewels and so muchmore!

We need to get to the second nutcracker. Now this is a Claranutcracker. There is a little nutcracker in her hand. She has curlyblonde hair, ruby red lips and a white fuzzy shawl. There is a lace

neck piece and ballet slippers. Those are the nutcrackers of themonth.Happy Holidays!

QUAIL FACTS

Baby quails have very delicate legs.If you let your baby quail walk on aflat surface then that will lead tosplayed legs. To prevent splayedlegs, put pellets on the surface thatyour baby quail is walking on.Splayed legs are when the babyquails legs slip out from under it andit ends up doing the splits. Splayedlegs can cause bad damage to yourquails legs. So to prevent splayedlegs, put pellets or shavings underwhere your baby quail is walking!

The Night Before the NutcrackerBy

Madeline Ramelb

The night before the Nutcracker, all the school was quiet and all haddances of sugar plums in their heads. All the children slept soundlywithout a peep and all the butterflies and cameleons slept inside theircages waiting for morning to come.

My Saddest Moment

ByGinger Morris

I see her face almost every dayand the minutes slip away day by day

and before you know it,She is moving away,

I hug her for the last time,and say the last good-bye.

I see her face slip behind the glassAs we drive away.

SCHOOL!


9/9

Twas the day of the Nutcrackerwhen all through the school,The teachers all scurryingreminding kids all the rules,

The parts were all studiedand the teachers were a sighthoping we would manageto do it all right,

The mice were quiet but not asleep in their beds,While first graders had visions of Shave Ice tucked in their heads,

There were Bon-Bons, soldiers, candy canes - only 2.Narrators, Sugar Plums, Teacakes, Chocolates too,

We practiced at school each day and each week,On the real stage my heart skipped a beatLet no parts be missing or parts incomplete!

Too late for last-minute changes or costume replacement;The teachers all worried, it would just go to the basement!When what to my worrying eyes should appearbut 35 Huakailani butterflies all smiley and bright,

With each part memorized and all songs learned.They sparkled like butterfly wings that just had been earned.More rapid than cheetahs they got into line,They danced, sang and said their parts -So divine!

"Pull yourself together, teachers"and come to the land of the sweets,Where the sugar plum and prince will offer sweet treats.

And then in a twinkling, we knew for a factthat all the girls had made a pact,To keep teachers from worrying about the performance nightand that everything would be just absolutely all right.

The girls spoke not a word, but went right to their places,Lines all straight and with smiles on their faces.The teachers all watched with amazement and delight,In that instant, they knew that the it would be all right.

They put their CDs and scripts away in their classrooms,The teachers all admired how all their girls had blossomed,It made them want to proudly shout!"This will be the best Nutcracker Show, without any doubt.

Tomorrow we'll cheer, let the holiday ring,We will still be singing those lines in are heads -We did it! We did it! The show was a success!The perfect, most magical, Nutcracker Show, I bet!"

Then onto a holiday weekend with family and friends,With visions of sugar plums still dancing in our heads.We head to the malls to shop for the next big day ahead,A Merry Christmas to all and to all....

What's that I hear?t's always such a treat to throw a Christmas par-ty!Oh no! Yo Ho!It is starting all over again inside my head!I even hum it when I am in bed.Oh, Dread!

Inspired by my upper school students whohave written beautiful poetry during thepoetry unit, the Nutcracker and all of theHuakailani girls, I wrote this poem based on"The Night Before Christmas".

Dedicated to te Butterflies!
