Christmas party!

We had a wonderful Christmas party, and we want to say a big THANK YOU to all the families who were involved in any way!  The room was full of joy, laughter, and friendship. We had a spectacular time, thanks to all of the planning and preparing our families did to make it possible!  What a great way to end the month of December!

Thank you to Pam V. for bringing in Nutcracker's to share with our class, and telling us about that special custom from Germany.  I know that the kids and I really enjoyed looking at them and learning about this custom.

Miss Bader's Mom visits

Miss Bader's Mom visited us on Thursday to help finish up special projects the kids have been working on for their families as a Christmas gift. Thank you to Judy for spending time and helping us!  We really loved having you and hope you come again!!!

Sweden and wooden shoes

We continue to learn about different countries around the world and their customs during the Holiday season.  Sparkle really enjoyed learning about Sweden/Holland and their wooden shoes customs. :-)  As you can see our classmates got to try and walk in real wooden shoes!  They decided it isn't as easy as it looks!
