'Twas the day before Christmas vacation

If you have ever taught school or have children of your own, you are well aware that the day before any type of vacation (whether it be Veteran's Day or summer vacation) is the equivalent to putting Fun Dip powder through the air vents at a place like Fun Station. Needless to say the children are EXCITED! Heck, the teachers are excited too! We had a great last couple of days before the two week break. Here are some pictures to sum it up...

We did get some learning done! We've been busying study about elements, atoms, and the periodic table. Here is an element superhero.


Art work done by:


We used our math skills to construct snowmen that could be no heavier than 50 pounds, and not cost more than $25.


We stuffed stockings full of treats.



As our elf, Jerry (the kids choice), and his friends looked on.




We made sweet ornaments to take home.


We collected money to buy a flock of geese for a family or village in need through Heifer International. Not quite your typical six geese a laying!


Geese provide eggs and protein for people living in third world countries all around the globe.



Our class hopes that your holiday season is full of magic, love, peace!

Merry Christmas...
