December Holidays at Prairieview

Mrs. Walsh-Rock has pulled and displayed a great assortment of December Holiday books. She has also included books set in the winter season.

The Prairieview students are even more excited about these books than the Elizabeth Ide students. They have a real knack for finding and borrowing the very best ones.

During this last week of school before winter break, I have been sharing many of these books duing my classes. Each student has received a "Chill Out and Read" bookmark as a holiday gift. I hope they will all find a reason to use the bookmarks before we see them again.

December Holidays at Elizabeth Ide

Over the years, we have collected lots and lots of books about December holidays. Once again, Mrs. Drope has pulled them and displayed them in our library. The children are excited and almost everyone wants to borrow a holiday book.

Christmas stands out. Most of our students celebrate Christmas. Fortunately, there are many titles available for us to acquire. There are, however, a couple of other holidays to consider in December. This Friday is the beginning of Hanukkah. And then, there is Kwanzaa.

It is good for our students to know about these holidays. Many of the stories are pretty fun. I will be sharing some of them with the children during the last couple of weeks before winter break.
