Sorry about not updating sooner! Time got away from me again...of course you can never have too much of the holiday season, so here are a few more pictures. We finished our Christmas around the world tour, by making gifts with riddles like they do in Sweden, eating yule logs and making Noel door decorations for France, and making Christmas cards in the English tradition.
We also learned about Hanukkah-playing the dreidel game was fun and we loved making latkes from scratch. After taste testing we decided we liked them with sour cream followed by applesauce followed by plain. (It was a close race!)
On the last day, we came back to the USA and participated in the school sing a long, made gingerbread houses-VERY fun! The children were so imaginative with their decorations and made such intricate plans for their houses. What better way to clean the sticky tables afterwards than to bust out the shaving cream and write on the table with it! After all the excitment, we decided to calm things down by with the good old American tradition of TV! We watched the old school Grinch and clay-mation Rudolph. It was a great day to end the semester-thank you so much to our many wonderful parent volunteers!
I am excited to be back for 2009! The children seem so grown up-how has it only been two weeks? We have had a fabulous first week back!
