This week in Mrs. Teitsma's kindergarten class, they practiced for their upcoming holiday play, learned about Christmas traditions around the world by making a menorah, and played math games involving marbles and Ziploc bags. They also counted down the days until Christmas and discussed upcoming snacks and the class Christmas play scheduled for December 18th.
