A day for Celebrating!

We took time out of our regular weekly routine for a little celebrating today.  We have a lot to celebrate...this BEAUTIFUL winter weather, 12 days of vacation, working hard for almost an entire semester...  We spent the morning decorating gingerbread houses.  See pictures below of each student with their own house.  They will be bringing them home with them today, and everything is edible (if they wish to devour it!).  We spent the afternoon celebrating with our friends from Ms. Klein's high school class.  They prepared a delicious lunch of tacos with all the fixings and had the most delicious spread of desserts and treats!  YUM!  We wrapped up our day with watching the movie, "Polar Express."  We read about this in our News2You this week and decided we wanted to learn more about this great book that has become a movie.  Our feature blogger this week is Kaitlyn.  Here is what she has to say about her short week at PrairieWood...

"This week at PrairieWood I learned to clean the classroom at the Hotel at Kirkwood.  I enjoyed lowering and straighteneing the chars in the classroom at the Hotel at Kirkwood.  I was challenged by putting the chairs all at the right level.  At PrairieWood I would like to learn more about looking both ways before crossing the street."

We hope you all enjoy your holiday break!  Relax and enjoy time with family and we will see you back here in 2012!!
