German Kinderland

An interactive German Play & Learn class for children 4 1/2 to 8 year olds.

Established in 2012, German Kinderland began when Alexandria resident, mother and teacher, Suzan Orman, decided to pursue her passion for teaching outside of her day-to-day position at Mclean’s Montessori School. Not quite content fulfilling her duties at Mclean’s Montessori School, Suzan began her German Kinderland classes in April 2012. Held on Saturday mornings for approximately ninety minutes,

German Kinderland is a play and learn environment where children enjoy games, movement, songs and crafts in a small group of between eight to twelve. Suzan’s enthusiasm for sharing her extensive knowledge of the German language and culture she was exposed to growing up is undeniably evident in both her classroom environment and her teaching ability. Adopting many of the successful Montessori approaches to schooling, Suzan encourages an interactive classroom complete with age appropriate materials and objects designed to enhance her student’s learning experiences. Set in her warm and inviting home, the German Kinderland classroom is a playful scene in which students feel both comfortable and excited to participate in weekly sessions. This setting combined with Suzan’s creative teaching leaves her students begging to return to “Frau Suzi’s” week after week!

We hope you experienced a wonderful holiday season. Our Germany trip was highlighted by the enchanting 'Weihnachtsmarkt' Christmas Market, as shown in the included photos. I appreciate my family's efforts in making my long-held wish to revisit a Weihnachtsmarkt, 25 years later, a memorable experience.

We were delighted to welcome a special visitor to our class last Saturday. Nikolaus brought treats for our students, which was expected given their good behavior. Did he also visit your home and share some goodies with you? Here are some pictures of the class in action.

🚨 Don’t forget, tonight is “Nikolausabend” St. Nicholas’ evening. We love this 🇩🇪 German Tradition! December 6th is a very special day for children all over Germany. It marks the “Nikolaustag” (Day of St. Nicholas). On the evening of December 5th, children clean & place their boot or shoe outside their house door, hoping that Nikolaus will fill it with gifts, some fruit, candy & cookies.
Good and naughty children:
St. Nikolaus will fill your shoe with presents - if you've been good.
For naughty children, Nikolaus has a helper, Knecht Ruprecht. Instead of presents, Ruprecht puts a bunch of dry branches or coal in bad children's shoes. Kids in Germany love the Nikolaustag and it is often a big event in schools and kindergarten as well as on the Christmas markets.

Putzt den Stiefel und stellt ihn raus denn morgen kommt der Nikolaus! Wir wünschen Euch lieben einen vollen Stiefel und morgen einen schönen Nikolaustag👢🍫🍭🍪🍬🍊
