It finally arrived...my first experience with the week before vacation! I was amazed at what I was able to get accomplished at such a chaotic time of year. Students are so willing to share their thoughts and memories of Christmas. I was truly blessed to hear how each child has and will celebrate the Christmas holiday. Each and every child is unique in what they experience...Just like teaching. Looking back at this week has already allowed me to see how easy it is to relate on such a common thing as a holiday. Through this common connection I was able to bring learning to real life. Learning about the real reason we put wreaths on our doors and how each ornament on a tree has a special meaning made learning fun for all.
I wish each and everyone a very Merry Christmas!
