We have really enjoyed talking about our Holiday Traditions. Christmas is such a magical time of year! Its always fun to hear the students compare "naughty Elf on a shelf" stories and talk about the fun things they do with their families over the holidays. Last year, I decided to start a 'holiday tradition' in my classroom. I wanted everyone to have the opportunity to decorate a gingerbread house which is something that my own daughters have done (and continue to do) every Christmas. I pre-assembled the houses so they would be sturdy enough to hold lots of goodies and then just enjoyed watching the students transform their houses. We were so proud of our creations that we invited Mrs. Brockman to come check them out! Thanks Grade 2 for helping me keep this tradition alive! I hope those houses made it home in one piece! LOL! Merry Christmas to all!
