Week 16 Letter Aa, star word review, and CHRISTMAS themes!

On the home front...
Our family tradition of decorating gingerbread houses continues...
"never too old for gingerbread" my 17 year old tells me! 
Let's hope that holds true for at least a few more years!

 Meanwhile back in the classroom...
we wrapped up a few more gingerbread projects left over from last week:
