We've been busy making and doing this past week, as we move towards the Winter Break. I think both the Morning and Afternoon concerts were a success, but unfortunately, I didn't manage to take any photos during either event myself. Happily, Abbey's mom sent along a panoramic that she took of the students at the concert, which I'm eager to share with you.
This week, we've finished off our star ornaments and sent them home. Though Mr. Zippy may never recover from all the glitter, I hope you enjoy them. We've also been making ornaments with oranges and cloves. They look neat piled all together. Each student has spelled out the first initial of their name and then they've been given creative license to add other decorative features. Many are finding the cloves a bit "picky" , but most seem to enjoy the scent. Those are being sent home as they finish.

Then Wednesday is the big day, because we're decorating our gingerbread men. The students are very excited. I've baked them and just hope none crack before their debut. Thanks very much to the parents who're coming in to help ice tomorrow: Nancy and Joe in the afternoon and Tara and Olivia in the morning. Your support really makes things like this possible in the classroom.
Thanks really to all the parents: you really make my job so much easier in so many ways, from just supporting your child's learning and independence to those who've taken on Scholastic or sent in Play Doh or other things that support our learning. You've all been incredibly supportive, and I really appreciate your efforts.
