I can’t believe it’s already December 23rd. Hanukkah has already begun. Kwanzaa starts in three days and Christmas is only two days away! In just a mere few hours, students will be walking out the door, not to walk back in until January 3rd.

It’s been a great start to the year. We’ve gotten so much accomplished since September. We’ve been able to travel the world while still inside our classroom through blogging and skyping. Everyone’s been working so hard and making amazing progress. I can’t wait to see what the rest of the year has to bring!

To celebrate what we’ve done so far this year, I have a couple videos to share below. I hope you enjoy!




Also, as a gift, Alyxandra created a couple Smileboxes. It’s one of the best gifts I could’ve gotten (except we’ll just ignore that little part at the end about the Steelers). Thank you so much!
