We had our first whole-school carolling event in the gym today. We are definitely feeling Jolly!  Join us on Wednesday morning if you missed out today. 
We have begun to design our gingerbread houses and tomorrow we will be constructing a solid structure entirely out of graham crackers and candy goodness! students are invited to bring in candy to decorate their houses tomorrow. 
On Thursday students are invited to bring in a non-electronic (no ipads or noise makers ;)) game to school that they know how to play and will be able to show their classmates how to play cooperatively.  This encourages student's leadership abilities, sharing and turn taking.  Please bring your games in Thursday morning.
