| Polar Express Pajama Day! |
It was wonderful to return to school today to see my favorite kindergartners refreshed and excited to get back to our work and play! Prior to the holiday break, we had a whirlwind of a time learning about holidays around the world and celebrating our own family traditions. Please enjoy the photos of our December learning!

We also did a mini-unit about reindeer. We read stories, as well as informational texts. My favorite project was the Reindeer Guided Drawing that we did. I wanted to take every single one home and frame it! I hope you enjoyed your little "deer's" work as much as I did ;)
I hope you had a wonderful and restful holiday break with your families. I am so excited to be back at school during this amazing part of the year, when kindergartners seem to just explode with learning!
