Friday Reminders 12/20/19

Friday, December 20, 2019
We had a PACKED week! On Wednesday, we decorated gingerbread houses. Thanks to all of our parent volunteers for building, helping with, and packing our houses! On Thursday, we participated in Holidays Around the World; we learned about Diwali with Mrs. Allen, Christmas in Italy with Mrs. Thompson, Chinese New Year with Mrs. Peet, and Hanukkah with Ms. Stiffler back in Room 20. On Friday, we enjoyed a Christmas Escape Room (2-digit subtraction) and the Holiday Sing Along with the whole school. Overall, it was a fun and fantastic week.
