Winter Vacation!!! Thanks to our organizers for such fun games on our last day. Have a look at some of your Christmas fun in the pictures below. It was great to have a visit from Willow and look below at your nylon creative characters. Thank you for bringing all the wonderful treats and thank you for all of your thoughtful gifts. I am such a lucky teacher. I think you were happy with your Secret Santa gifts as well. Well done everyone. Feel free to post over the holidays: what you are doing for fun? what you are learning over the holidays? What act of kindness you did or someone did for you? What you are reading? No homework...just have fun reading, spending time doing the things you never have time to do with people you love to do that with and be sure to help out around the house when you can. Have a wonderful vacation and see you on January 4th.
