Ms. Prinz's 5th grade class joined in on the holiday fun by taking socks, both regular and fuzzy, and turned them into Christmas gnomes to gift to their parents. Some of the students loved them so much they decided to gift them to themselves! Then, students continued their advent calendar countdown until break where they did a Christmas activity a day. One of the most popular activities was making edible Christmas trees using sugar cookie cones, frosting and different candies.
