My family is nice.  This is my favorite song:  Let's gather 'round the campfire and sing a campfire song.  C.A.M.P.F.I.R.E.S.O.N.G.
There is more but I can't fit it.

Reindeer Day

 

The children had so much fun on Reindeer Day!  We enjoyed eating reindeer sandwiches, making a non fiction reindeer book, creating a reindeer ornament, and identifying the story elements of the classic Christmas story, "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer."

Christmas Around the World

 Students learned about different holiday traditions from around the world.  One tradition is from Germany.  Students placed one shoe outside the classroom door.  After waiting for a few minutes, the sound of jingle bells filled the hallway.  The children discovered "St. Nicholas" had left them treats in their shoes.  What fun!

Thank you YMCA

Students in room 20 wrote thank-you letters to the Martinsville YMCA for providing them work swimming lessons last month. Below are a few of those letters.

Dear YMCA,

Thank you for the swimming lessons.  The lifeguards helped us swim.  It was a great time.
