Happy Holidays!

We have had a wonderful week.  We learned about Christmas in Mexico, Australia, Germany and China. We discussed the similarities and differences in our cultures. On Thursday, the Columbia Marionette Theater presented Santa's Christmas Party. The children were enthralled by the puppets and entertained by the humor. My homeroom class won the loose change contest and were rewarded with cupcakes after the performance. Thanks to all who contributed.

Today, we had our Christmas celebration. The children have been waiting all week for this and they had a ball!

They loved the bag exchange...

and just having fun together.

We said goodbye to a friend and look forward to a new year.  Merry Christmas everyone!
