The wreaths were so pretty, so we decided to go take a picture!

We made snowflakes and sent them to Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut. They will use them to decorate their new elementary school.

Here is a picture from our Christmas Sing-a-long on Friday. You can view more pictures from the sing-a-long on the Christmas Program post. We sang The First Noel.

Lincoln and Amberiel received letters back from the veteran they wrote to on Veteran's Day. It was fun to read the letters and learn all about the veteran, Mahlon who served in Greenland and Thule.

This week we made covers to our art books. We cut magazines and made a collage. Click below to see the pictures:
