Yesterday, third grade had a fun day traveling from country to country (classroom to classroom) learning about how different holidays are celebrated around the world. Students learned facts about each holiday and made a craft. Students had a passport and received a stamp for each country they visited. They also had a suitcase (plastic bag) with luggage tag to carry all of their belongings with them from county to country.

We have a lot to be thankful for here at Yowell. Some students in fourth grade have been working on a writing piece dedicated to something they are grateful for. Here are some highlights from Ms. Heaney's reading class. We hope that you have a safe holiday break and that you take this time with your loved ones to reflect on all the things that you have to be thankful for.
