We have been working on some projects that connect to our study of Holidays around the World. Some of these projects are ongoing, as they take a bit of time and precision. The "tin" ornaments we are making as part of our study of Las Posadas are a traditional decoration on Mexican Christmas trees. During our free choice time on Friday afternoon, several students chose to work more on their ornaments. It was a joy to watch them--they were laughing together and having great conversation, all while focusing very carefully on their artwork. I love when children who may not usually spend much time together are brought together by a common interest. That's what happened here. It brought a smile to my face, and it was a great way to end a very busy week!
