For our Christmas party, we exchanged gifts, played some really fun games, and ate lots of yummy food! Thank you to our parent helpers and everyone who donated food and/or drinks. We really appreciated it! :)

"Christmas Around the World" Projects
The third graders worked very hard on their "Christmas Around the World" projects. They had to pick a country that they wanted to learn more about. Then, they completed the research packet by looking up and answering various questions about how people in that country celebrates Christmas and/or other winter holidays. Next, they dressed their gingerbread person in the traditional way of that country. Finally, they created a Google Slide presentation and presented it to the rest of their classmates as well as the first and second graders. Mr. O'Donnell even included it in the 4th, 5th, and 6th Graders' Christmas Program. :)
Below are pictures of our gingerbread people wearing traditional clothing from our countries and pictures of more information.

"If You Give a _________ a __________" Stories
Before Christmas Break, we read several of Laura Numeroff's books such as "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" and "If You Give a Cat a Cupcake." They are excellent examples of cause and effect--even if they get side-tracked sometimes. :)
So, we wrote our own versions of "If You Give a _____ a _____." We typed them up using Google Docs and then illustrated each page. We were so proud of them so we wanted to share them with others. The preschoolers and Young Kindergarten students were awesome listeners and even suggested ideas of how they would've written their own. :)
