Christmas Wrap Up
First, I wanted to share a New Year’s activity. First, we read the book, Squirrel’s New Years Resolution.
After discussing New Year’s resolutions, we created a list of some of our own. Each student wrote their own resolution.

I just got that book from Scholastic and will be using it in a similar way! You know what they say. . .great minds and all. . . And I really love the tree. It's still not too late for me to use that idea in my class because we go up to and including a full day of Dec. 23!! Thanks a bunch and Merry Christmas!

thanks for sharing– prepping for when we return after break!
I love the snowman ornaments. We have made those for several years, but didn't this year (too overwhelmed with graduate school to go buy the ornaments–pitiful, right??!)! One thing I always did was put a small squirt of liquid soap in the paint to help it wash off the kiddos easily.
I'm going to have to get that New Years book. Too cute! Thanks for sharing!
