Mrs. McGowan's First Grade
We Wish You A Merry Christmas!
 Once
again it's time for Santa, Rudolph, candy canes, gift-getting, great kitchen
smells, and renewed family traditions. But for many of us,
remembering the first Christmas is most important. Traditional or
religious, the Christmas Season is here at last - let's be happy for our blessings and very generous to
those who have less.

The Polar Express

are invited to bring in bathrobes and slippers. We make a train

wonderful book. We all hear the first Christmas bell. It's
magical! Of course, there's
Snowman Soup to share when we
exit the train. Here's a simple response activity:
