Well, the last week of school before our Christmas break has arrived, and what a busy, fun filled one it will be!  Monday and Tuesday we will continue to practice our Christmas songs for the concert.  Everyone has worked very hard on learning the words and actions for our two songs and I know that all the parents will be very pleased and proud!  The concert will take place Wednesday morning at 9:30am.  Throughout the week we will continue to learn about Christmas in other parts of the world.  The students have been really enjoying hearing about the different tradtions and customs.  One of our favorites was in Australia where families often go to the beach and have a BBQ for Christmas dinner.  The also thought it was very funny that "Six White Boomers" pull Santa's sleigh instead of reindeer because it is too hot! I will be sending home a note, asking for you to verify how your child will be going home on Friday.  It is a half day and to avoid any confusion I prefer to have it on paper.  I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and to thank you for allowing me to teach your wonderful children!  May you take every moment this Christmas to make beautiful memories with your families!  Enjoy the love and peace this season brings!
