Friday Reminders 12/15/17

A quick week with so many festivities throughout! We were able to choose and buy gifts from the Holiday Shop. On Wednesday, Mercer Middle School's bands and choir visited Pinebrook and performed an amazing Winter Concert! Check out Class Dojo for a couple videos. On Thursday, we watched the Polar Express with Mrs. Thompson's class, made our gingerbread houses, and listened to a One-to-the-World (OTTW) presentation by third grade. On Friday, we learned about Holidays around the World from Mrs. Peet (Chinese New Year), Mrs. Thompson (Italy), and Mrs. Kane (Dewali); we learned about Hanukkah in our classroom. We also enjoyed the Holiday Sing Along with the whole school!
