Tuesday was Dress like your favorite Who. Wednesday was "Cat-in-the-Hat" crazy hat day. Thurdsay was "Crazy Foot" day where everyone wore crazy socks and mismatched or funny looking shoes. Last, on Friday we had Pajama Day.

Our school Science Fair was so much Fun!

So Coral Cliffs Elementary School had it's first "Snow Day" in 10 years!!! On Thursday December 18th, the Washington County School District canceled school due to the snow we received. On Wednesday and Friday morning the children had enough snow to make snow-men and have some snowball fights... How fun!

The Fourth Graders had an exciting visitor last Tuesday... A Real Live Mountain Man from Canada came to our school! He brought interesting furs, and contraptions. We also enjoyed an interesting slide presentation. He made wild animal calls and told some unbelievably "Tall Tales"!
