Frohe Weihnachten: A German Tradition!
Welcome to Germany!
Today, your child learned what it was like to celebrate Christmas in Germany! A huge Thank You goes out to my cousin, Markus Noe, for SKYPING with us all the way from Munich! It was very special and SO MUCH FUN!

India
I'd like to send a special thanks out to Bhavna Thaker for taking our class to India. The children really enjoyed learning about Diwalli!
China
