Greetings from Mexico!  It's the latest stop on Room 7's trip around the world!  So far this week we have been to France to celebrate St. Nicholas Day, Italy to learn about their tradition of La Befana and Mexico to learn about Las Posadas.  Yesterday Mr. and Mrs. Rivera, the parents of Isabella from Room 8, came to speak to the Kindergarten classes about their Christmas traditions in Mexico.  The students reenacted Las Posadas and participated in the piñata tradition.  Today we will be finishing our tour of Mexico and learn about Poinsettia plants.

When we have not been busy traveling around the world this week; we have been very busy finishing Topic 7: Geometry in our math series.  On Thursday we started talking about geometric figures including cubes, spheres, cones, cylinders and rectangular prisms.  Next week we will start Topic 8: Fractions and Ordinals. 

Next Friday the Kindergarten classes and preschool classes will be putting on their Christmas Nativity Pageant.  All are invited to attend!  It will be at 11:00 A.M. in the church.
