 Hello families, 

Today we we traced our hands (a lot) to make tress for our door decorations.  We also put our snowman, Olaf together for our door. 

We wrote and decorated cards for seniors. We went to gym and played line tag and stinky armpit tag. 

We counted to 20 in math.  Ask your child to count to 20 for you.
