HO, HO, HO!  It is almost Christmas!  The countdown is officially on, and the students are definitely all very excited for the festive holiday!  It is incredibly enjoyable to see all the excitement in all my students eyes as we discuss in french what they would like for Christmas.  I love this time of the year.Now that our claymation is out of the way it is time to work on our Christmas Concert song.  Just a reminder that next Tuesday, December 21st at 9am in the gymnasium is our concert.  This will be your child's last concert of Elementary School, so I hope you all can make the final hurah!On Friday we will be drawing names for a Secret Santa.  This is just a fun way to spend our last day of school exchanging gifts and celebrating the joy of giving.  Please only spend a dollar or two at one of the Dollar Stores, as there are many things at these stores that will make these children happy.  I look forward to spending the next week with my students and I will be soaking up all their excitement.  I am impressed with their dedication to getting their school work done even through their excitable energy.  They are staying right on task and we are being very productive for this time of the year.  Thank you class!  You are the best!
