A busy winter week!

On Monday we had a little hot cocoa party to celebrate the great work we had done! We had mini marshmallows, little candy canes and a tiny do-nut with our cocoa. It was yummy and fun! 

We also read some stories about deer and made a red-nosed reindeer to take home. 

On Tuesday we worked together to create this beautiful winter village, and then we wrote about our families in our journals. 

On Wednesday we used some paper we had painted and sprinkled with salt for a snowy texture, and created a winter forest scene. We added special snowflakes on Thursday...our room looks cozy and colorful!

Our Holiday Breakfast was a lot of fun on Friday morning. The boys enjoyed eating together, and opening their gifts from us...these books are theirs to keep. 

I hope all of you have a wonderful, peace filled holiday with your children and families. I am so grateful to work with such wonderful children and families - thank you for your continued support and help. 

When we return on January 6, we will have a student teacher with us for 6 weeks. Miss Mattson will be joining us as she completes her special education student teaching. After February break, she will move to a high school program. We are excited that we will be able to share our wonderful classroom with her!
