Holiday Traditions, and Winter Fun

Students are busy learning about a variety of traditions,

holidays, cultures, and customs. For example, we will learn

about the African American celebration Kwanzaa that be-

gins on Dec. 26. We will also play a Dreidle game that is

enjoyed by many during Ha-nukkah celebrations. Finally,

will be celebrating all we’ve learned about different cultures

at the end of the week with a classroom party. Thank you for

all those who agreed to bring supplies for our festivities.

We hope your family has a safe and happy holiday vaca-

tion. Remember to keep read-ing every day! We will see you
