Happy Holidays and more

This week we talked about Hanukkah and Christmas. We will learn about Kwanza next week. This way the students are able to learn about all the holidays that are celebrated in December. We also had a nice time with the parents that came in to make a holiday craft. Students also had a holiday performance yesterday. It went so well thanks to Ms. Kim and her great program.
