Dear Parents, 
     Our Christmas Around the World unit of study was awesome!  Students had an enjoyable time as they traveled to different countries  to learn how Christmas is celebrated.    This week,  we have  more  exciting Christmas  activities planned.  Students will read  and complete activities pertaining to various  versions of the  Ginger Bread Man.    At the end of this unit,  each student will make a gingerbread house.   On Thursday, they will watch and complete activities  pertaining to the Polar Express.    Letters were sent out on Friday listing the items needed to make these activities a success.  If  you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.      

Sincerely, 
Ms. Dailey
