In gym this week we took a flashlight spaceflight in our gym. We put on our spacesuits, strapped ourselves into our rockets and blasted into outer space.
As we floated through the galaxy we kept our eyes open for alien friends. We found a few, and chased them down. Those aliens sure are fast!
I was sorting through some pictures yesterday and realized that I never posted our pictures from our Christmas pajama party. We started out the day with a ride on the snowflake express. We each received a ticket to ride on this special train, which was punched by the conductor. Then all aboard! We went down steep mountains, twisted, turned and bumped along the track.
We enjoyed warm cocoa...
Chocolatey....
Delicious...
And when we reached the North Pole, we watched the movie Walle (in honor of our recent recycling unit)...
And on our way home, discovered a special treasure under our chairs.
Merry Christmas!
Here are some quick pictures of the fun activities we enjoyed leading up to the Christmas holidays. We made stockings... 
...Mrs. Demas told the story of the Polar Express...
... Christmas Tree stars that glittered and sparkled...
...and a visit from Santa Claus!
The weather outside was frightful,
But the constable was so delightful,
With sirens and flashing lights to show,
To the jail we all did go,
Thank you to our local RCMP detachment for their hospitality! We had a wonderful experience.
We took a trip to the local firehall for our community helpers unit. Our fire chief, Charlie, showed us all the special equipment used by the fire trucks and ambulances when they go out on a call, and we got a chance to look at things up close...
And even try some of the gear on...
And imagine that we were driving the trucks...
And have an all around good time.
