We had our holiday party this morning - Miss Staudt served us breakfast!  We opened our stockings.  It was fun to read the nice notes from everyone!  We went caroling around the neighborhood and did a math problem about the 12 days of Christmas too!

***A note from Miss Staudt:  Have a safe and happy holiday break!  I am loving our class more each day and can really see the growth they have made since August.  This is such a fun time to spend with family, give thanks for the gifts in our lives, and reflect on the past year.  I hope you get the chance to do all three of those things - I know I will be giving thanks for each of you as I reflect on our first few months as a class!
