Week in Review
We have had so much fun learning about traditions all over the world! We started our week with a discussion of the traditions that many people in the US participate in around the holidays.

We also researched England and read:

We researched Mexico and read:

The kids had fun creating their own poinsettia art!

In math, we started a fun unit on nonstandard measurement!






Have a great week!
