Christmas Newsletters

I made three different Christmas newsletters for an Enrichment thing before Thanksgiving, so I used all three this year, and sent one to each person on our list. (If you weren't on the list, it's b/c you didn't send me your address!)  So, for those who didn't get one, or for those who were jealous of a different newsletter, here's all three. You'll probably have to click the crossword and open it up in a new window to make it big enough to read (or I can send you the file if you want). The crossword and "I spy" versions got the collage picture (which walmart cropped wrong), and the poem had a bunch of little pictures in black/white all along the sides, but I didn't feel like turing the publisher doc into a jpg, so you just get the poem on here.  

(I'll post florida pictures, etc. later...when I'm finish finding places for all the new toys!)

THE CROSSWORD

THE COLLAGE

THE POEM

Gave some hugs

Got in trouble

Baked some cookies

Splashed in puddles

Sang kid songs

Had many laughs

Made some messes

Took many baths

Shaved some hair

Then grew it back

Bought a car

A duck says “quack”!

Talked a lot

Had some fun

Worked on projects

Got stuff done

Sewed some bags

And painted walls

Rearranged and

Had some falls

Took some photos

Learned new things

Started school and

Put on wings

Made some visits

Saw the beach

Read some books

Cleaned with bleach

Learned some lessons

Life was great

Merry Christmas
