1st Grade: Winter Wish and
2nd Grade: Winter Wonderland
Reserve Unit 863rd Engineer Battalion from Darien, Il were deployed to Afghanistan in October 2010. During First and Second grade classes this week, I will be reading to the students, The Soldier's Night Before Christmas. To encourage good citizenship and caring, First and Second grade students will be given the opportunity to create an artwork that will be sent to our troops. The first graders will be creating snowglobes with an image of their winter wish for our troops. The second graders will be creating winter landscapes/scenes to share a little bit of home with our troops. We are hoping to complete this in time for the troops to have a little home for the holidays.
