Week in Review
The holiday gift shop was open all last week! The  kids had so much fun shopping for their families :)




 Globetrot Scott continued sending us souvenirs to help us learn about traditions around the world. The kids were cracking up about the tradition of sending secret notes in napkins in Italy.



And in Italy, they have a Christmas Witch!

 We learned that Boxing Day is a tradition in the Netherlands. Can you believe Globetrot Scott sent us a gift wrapped 293479238479 times so we could have our own Boxing Day? When we finally opened it, it was FROZEN!!! We'll be watching it in our jimmies on Friday :)

We also received this book from Sweden where they have a Christmas gnome.

We made our own gnomes but crazy ol' me left my camera at home that day :(. 

 In math, we had so much fun learning about place value. We know that the first digit tells us the number of tens and the second digit tells us how many ones.
 We practiced building it, drawing the base 10, AND telling it in expanded form (24 is 20 + 4).
 AND...we finally finished our How To books. The kids were so excited that they begged for the opportunity to read their books to the Kindergarteners. We'll be sharing our books with one of the Kindergarten classes this week. They can't wait! :)

I apologize for the lack of photographs this week. Hopefully I won't be leaving my camera at home this week!

Here's to a FABULOUS last week before winter break! Stay warm!
