Today was the winter celebration and the end of the semester. Our class made fruit and yogurt parfaits, and snacked on pumpkin bread and mimi muffins. Students made snowflake picture frames, and were given pictures I took earlier this week outside in the snow.
Thank you to all of the parents and guests who came and helped or sent in donations. I wish you a safe and happy holiday season, and I will see you in 2009!

For our last week of school before winter break, we spent time studying snowflakes. We read the book Snowflake Bentley and learned about the man and scientist who spent his life studying snowflakes. We also made our own pretend snowflakes out of borax and pipe cleaners. This allowed the students to practice measurement and observe different phases of matter.
