Aren't these reindeer the cutest?
We learned many reindeer facts during the week
(both male and female reindeer grow antlers. The males' drop off in the fall, the females' fall after calving in the spring)
The kids decided if they wanted to make a regular reindeer or a magical Christmas reindeer.
We've a herd of shiny nosed, flying reindeer!

A Bonus Packet will come home with your child during break. This is totally optional. I've included this as a resource in case your kids would like some fun review pieces. It does not have to be returned unless you want to. We'll put big old "smelly marker" stars on any page they do return.
Remember this is optional.
Next week's blog will be published sometime before the New Year from my home as I will not be up at school during break.
Thank you for your patience.
