As we enter the holiday season we are discussing family, traditions and how people celebrate differently. To go along with the quilt discussion last week I am comparing our traditions and celebrations to a quilt with a bulletin board and the quote "We are like a quilt... Different patches, pieces, colors, and sizes all woven and held together by a common thread." I am also encouraging students to enjoy their family time together because when the gifts are gone the memories and traditions we share are what binds us together. I wish you a happy holiday season and hope you have fun creating memories that tie your family together for years to come.
