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!

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!
