Ho! Ho! Ho! HALLELUJAH - We survived Classroom Holiday Mayhem 2011!!! :) :)
Can I get an AMEN??!?
St. Nick Delivery, Polar Express day (favoriiiiiiite) and the 2nd annual Deaf Education Cookie Decorating Party just made the holiday season the best!
We focus a lot of attention on Thanksgiving (when I first got to my school, my students thought that GRAPES and POPCORN were what you had for Thanksgiving dinner!?!?!??!?!?!? - ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!??!.... that has been re-taught and corrected).
Here are some snapshots of our Holiday Happenings! - With a short video of our SNOW-BALL FIGHT!!!! :) :) :) <----------

"THIS IS THE LAST DECEMBER PARTY PICTURE I WILL HAVE WITH YOU.

So, maybe this table dumped over and we had to sit a teacher there
for the duration of the fights. |

IN A PLANNING MEETING ALL DAY FOR THE NEXT NINE-WEEKS.
