                                              Celebrations Around the World

 

      The kindergarten classes at Spring Lake Elementary learned that there are many world celebrations in December.  Hanukkah, Kwanza, and Christmas were the main events they learned about.  Dreidels were spun, candelabras were colored, and carols were sung. Families around the world spend special time together during this season and we were happy to learn more about ourselves and others.
