PARTIES

I am doing a Christmas party on Thursday but it is about different countries and what they do for Christmas. There will be food, games, and crafts.

-by Caden Hood

There is a party at Ben Davis! It's about Christmas around the World.  The second graders researched.  That is why we can have a party, but you have to do good on your tests too.  The party is December 20 and the time is 9:00 a.m.  We did the research in Mrs. Glover's room.  We will get to eat, play, share, and have fun.  We will make passports too.
