Holidaze

It felt like the Friday before Winter Break came and went in a tizzy--and it did! It was super action packed, completed with our school wide Holidays Around the World celebration, a snowman craft, and Cocoa Cafe. Parents and families were invited in on Friday afternoon for a cozy read, a crackling fireplace (on the SMART Board), and hot cocoa (courtesy of barista Marina & company). 

During Holidays Around the World, students visited India, Brazil, and Russia; they were engaged in three cultural activities from each. Some were holiday themed and some were simply cultural. Please enjoy some of the photos taken throughout the day. 

Playing Snakes and Ladders, an ancient Indian game, where our present-day Shoots and Ladders came from!
