We had a super duper fun day! We began by practicing our sign language songs with Mrs. Hanson's class, then Mrs. Summers combined the 2 kindergarten classes with the 2 first grade classes to watch the movie Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer. After recess, we started working on the gingerbread houses. Students used royal icing to stick graham crackers to the outside of an empty milk carton. We let the icing dry during lunch, then put the finishing touches on after lunch. They turned out really cute! We squeezed in a writing assignment, but the kids had a hard time focusing. We enjoyed Nick's birthday treats at the end of the day!

Tomorrow at 3:45 the sign club is performing Christmas songs in sign language for the residents of St. John's nursing home. Even if your child is not in sign club, they know most of the songs and are welcome to join us. They need their own transportation. I don't think we'll be there for more than 20 or 30 minutes. St. John's is located at the corner of Rimrock and Shiloh. Go into the main entrance, under the red awning. We will perform in the main lobby. I know that someone from the media will be there to cover the event. If you have questions, please call or email me.
