Reindeer games in math today practicing multiplication.



Day 7 was all about Sweden! We learned about St. Lucia's Day and how kids dress up like St. Lucia and star boys to celebrate. We even had the wonderful opportunity to have a parent helper AND my 3rd grade friends during the craft and traditional food tasting! I would say that the consensus was that gingersnaps are "spicy," but they seemed to be enjoyed! Thank you, Tiffanie, for coming in to help out! It is very appreciated!

Reminder to all parents: Today, Wednesday 12/11/24 is a 1:30 dismissal day.

We voted on if we liked the traditional German sweet bread, stollen! It was a hit with some! Others, not so much!

We learned yesterday about the Italian legend of Old Befana. She fills socks with treats for good children and with coal for bad children in Italy! The kids did a great job making their Befana socks!
