We also traveled to America and in America we made ornaments and we use jingle bells to celebrate the holidays. In America some kids get presents from Santa! 

We even had elves that came to keep an eye on us! Here is the video of us in America and our sneaky elf, Snowflake. 



We enjoyed learning about different cultures and we liked learning how people celebrate! Here is the video of us during our travels. 

King Oliver

Oliver was the King of the Jungle last week and he had a wonderful time being the King! His week started off amazing because his mom came to school on Monday and ate lunch with him and read the entire class a funny Curious George book! Now a little bit about our King... Oliver likes the color red and likes the movie Big Hero 6! He also likes football and his favorite food is mac n cheese! Oliver's favorite book is Lightening McQueen which we all loved as well! He also likes elephants and his favorite song is Shake It Off! Oliver is a special kid because he has a big heart! When Oliver is at home he likes to play and when he grows up he wants to be a teacher! I know he would be a great teacher because he loves learning! Oliver had a great week! 

Please check out his video of him as the King of the Jungle...
