Christmas Celebration

Before our Christmas party, we were working on letter writing in Writer's Workshop. Each student wrote a note to Santa and they were so excited to receive a response all the way from the North Pole from Santa!  Each notes was personalizes based on what the students' wrote along with some special information that there is no way Mrs. Keene could know (unless she talked to mom and dad. <insert smiley>.)

After we opened our letters from Santa we enjoyed some treats and then had our Christmas Book Exchange. Each student brought a wrapped book (under $5) for our book exchange:

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
