We have been collecting personal pictures of advent wreaths and nativity scenes. We have had such a wonderful response to the project that we will be posting not one, but TWO slideshows on the project's wiki page. You can see our first installment at http://advent-2010.wikispaces.com/California+-+Our+Lady+of+Mercy+School. I'll be posting Part II very soon.
It is simply wonderful to see these beautiful displays and share them with other Cathoilic Schools via this project. While at the website, be sure to out the other schools contributing to this project. The pictures are simply inspiring.
Remember, grades 5-8, will get 10 extra credit points if I get your pictures by Monday, Dec. 13.
See you Monday!!

Week of Dec. 5-9
As is typical for this time of year, my schedule is in a state of flux. The following is what I believe will probably happen this week. If it changes, you will see an update to THIS post. Also, pay attention for an EXTRA CREDIT opportunity at the end of this post.
Homework (grades 5-7 and 8K2 only, not 8K1):
In 50-100 words, tell me about your favorite family Christmas activities. The title is "Christmas".
As always:
A teacher friend of mine in Nebraska is leading a wonderful project at http://advent-2010.wikispaces.com/. She is collecting pictures of advent wreaths and nativity scenes from as many schools as she can on her wiki. (A wiki is a webpage to which others can add content, in this case pictures). What a wonderful way to prepare for the coming of our Savior. To participate in this project, please send me your picture(s) via email at georgesomers@olmlancers.com by Monday, Dec. 13. I'll put them in a slide show and add them to the wiki. Plus, I'll give you 10 points extra credit for submitting your picture. Check the wiki later to see all the pictures submitted.
UPDATE: Mrs. Poole has some wonderful information on her blog about nativity scenes including a Nativity Scene Hunt contest and a bonus trivia question. Check it out here. Thanks, Mrs. Poole! Nice job.
