Vacation is here!!

Tomorrow is our last day of school before Winter Break! We have had quite a busy week this week! On tuesday, the first grade went on a field trip to the Grand Place. It was a really enjoyable morning, and I learned a lot of interesting things. The giant ornaments in the Grand Place are much more fun when children are present... they got a big kick out of seeing their reflections in the silver ones....

Today we had our Winter Party and it was a blast! each room had a different activity and the kids rotated through them... they decorated gingerbread houses, frosted cookies, did arts and crafts, played games... then we had snacks and sang songs. The kids enjoyed it and the parents did a great job planning everything, as usual!

Last weekend I ended up downtown both Saturday and Sunday at the Christmas market, becuase of course I forgot some stuff the first day! Friday night was the faculty and staff Christmas party here at ISB... I have two words: Free champagne! It was a good time!

I leave for Barcelona on Saturday!! Hooray!!
