last school day of the year

First, thank you so much for the generous gifts.  I am always overwhelmed by my students families generosity.  You are very kind.

Second, I wish you all a wonderful two weeks filled with fun family time.  For those of you celebrating Christmas, I wish you a Happy Christmas.

Looking for a project while your children are at home.  Try this:

Mixed-Up Menagerie

What you will need: pipe cleaners in lots of colours and thicknesses, pencil, index card, markers

With pipe cleaners, make animals you are familiar with.  Then make and name the mystery animals.  Do a little mixing and matching, and create an animal with a giraffe's neck, a tigers body, and a monkey tail - or what-ever you can come up with!  Round shapes can be made by twisting the pipe cleaners around pencils and compressing the spirals.  When the menagerie is complete, make name cards for each animal with index cards and markers.  Invite visitors to admire your experimental zoo!

Have a wonderful holiday!  I can't wait to see you all in the New Year.

:)
