[|Bentley's snowflakes] The kindergarten students at Reed Elementary in Tiburon CA. enjoyed learning about Wilson Snowflake Bentley. We found the photographs quite beautiful. Using Kid Pix we designed our own unique snowflakes. Enjoy the snowstorm.

happy Holidays We spent the few hectic days of December learning how the winter holidays celebrated around the world are similar and different. Most of our class celebrates Christmas, Hanukkah or both. A few children talk about their family celebrations. As a class we learned about Los Posados, Santa Lucia, Saint Nicholas, Winter Solstice, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and finally looked at the story of Rudolph as a lesson in diversity. This isn't what the project here on line asked for but let's say we were busy. We did enjoy a holiday card exchange with Jen Wagner. I have included one shot of that. Hope everyone had a great holiday. = =
