It's the week of the Chanukkah Carnival!!!!

Here we are - just a mere 10 days away from winter break. Yes - we still have homework and classwork. Yes, our schedule will be crazy. Yes - we will learn and have fun, too.

This week is jam-packed with things to do. Tomorrow, the choir will sing at the State House (11:00-1:30. Those 7 students who are not in choir will work on making their moccasins. Wednesday is the Chanukkah Carnival. We will attend the carnival from 10:45-11:30. WE WILL STILL HAVE LANGUAGE ARTS AND MATH ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY!

The students learned how to sew today. We made a practice piece to prepare us for sewing our moccasins. The kids are doing a great job! So far, we've had no puncture wounds! (Thank G-d!) I am impressed by the students' determination to sew nice, even stitches. We will paint t-shirts next Monday. These t-shirts will be part of our Powwow costumes. Please send in a PLAIN, SOLID-COLOR t-shirt with your child on FRIDAY. These shirts will be painted with fabric paint! Make sure it tis a t-shirt that can be painted, cut, and decorated.
