When we return from our Thanksgiving break, our class will begin our Christmas around the world unit.  This year, students will work in partners to select a country, read to find information about that country’s celebration of Christmas, and then create a PowerPoint to present their findings to the class (and you).  

In preparation for our secret “green” Christmas project, I am in search of old/used (and ready to be discarded) 100% wool sweaters.  If you or your relatives have 1 please send it in.
