Today during gym, we played bowling. We tried to knock down blocks instead of pins. Also, we learned about St. Nicholas. The whole school put one of their shoes outside their classroom and when we checked again St. Nicholas left us all a candy cane! We had snack and finished our nativity scene after gym. After lunch we practiced saying our lines for the Christmas Pageant and singing two of the pageant songs.
