Christmas seemed the perfect time to show appreciation to some senior citizens at a local assisted care home.  This group searched online for some quick, fun crafts to make as gifts.  Their top choices were pipecleaner and bead ornaments and ice cream cone Christmas trees.  They invited other fifth grade classrooms to join us.  One wrote personalized Christmas cards, and another class made and bagged a special trail mix.  What an exciting visit students had with gifts and iPads in hand.
