As I sit here reflecting the day after our festivities, I can't help but be grateful for my wonderful school family. Your kindness this holiday season is much appreciated. I cannot wait to go to Dermistique and use my gift card. What a perfect treat for our break! And the teachers pay teachers gift card is amazing! I am so excited to pick out some great things for our kids to use! I've got lots of ideas already. I received so many kind gifts from you and your families. I am overwhelmed by your generosities this year. You all have made my first year at Beulah one to remember. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Here are a few pictures from our last day of 2016!

We explored teens! We learned that the 1 in the teen number actually represents 10. Each pair got a teen number. They represented their number using a cube tower and loose ones. Then we made paper chains using two colors to show the tens and ones!
It was a pretty great week!
