December Week 4

 Happy Happy Holidays! 

Yes we did! 

We made these adorable and yummy trains to eat along with hot cocoa while we listened to Polar Express songs (Hot Hot Chocolate! )and watched the classic (it's even on VHS!) The Grinch Who Stole Christmas!

 

Our the days before break were fun and fast! Wow! The time just flew by!   

Here are a few of our items and projects...

Here's to you!

Words cannot express how thankful I am for everything you did to help your child not only learn but often THRIVE during our looooong 2 months of Distance Learning!  I am forever grateful for you and the sacrifices you and your family had to make in order to provide a safe and cozy learning environment for your kindergartener.  I hope that your student takes away some fond memories of our time together while apart.  I also hope you and your little one created some of your own happy memories while working side by side. 

I hope your Holidays are healthy and happy!  See you in 2021!

Love ,

Marcia O'Duggan
