Christmas Photos

Merry Christmas! Here's a few ways that fifth grade celebrated this December. 

We finished our last project before break - our state brochures!

These girls are excited to perform in "The Musical Parody of Scrooget" for the Christmas Talent Show.

The whole class performed "The Musical Parody of Scrooge", filled with lots of singing, dancing, and "bah humbug".

The spirits of Christmas (including the Spirit of Christmas Present) sing to Scrooget about the real meaning of Christmas. 

Mrs. Neal and Mrs. Waltimyer set up an absolutely delicious breakfast buffet for us to enjoy!

Evan created a ridiculously long Scrabble chain - all words are spelled correctly (I checked). 

I was very excited to open some gifts!

We didn't quite get the 300 piece puzzle finished - we're saving the rest for January. 

Star Wars Monopoly. 

Enjoying telling stories around our big breakfast table.
