O Christmas Tree

At Nik's school this week, the class is "traveling" around the world to find out how different countries celebrate during this time of year. They have a suitcase, map, passport and tickets. Their teacher is the "flight attendant" and they have to board "the plane" to get to each destination.

On Monday, they went to Israel and learned about Hanukkah. They were shown how to play dreidel and colored a menorah.

On Tuesday, they traveled to Germany and discovered that was the place the first Christmas tree came from. Several parent volunteers came in to help with a special project: making yummy edible Christmas trees out of ice cream cones, frosting and lots of candies.

Here is Nik's tree:

The proud baker, about to sample his creation.

Here he is this morning, modeling one of the new shirts he got from his Aunt Ruby and MaryAnn.
