Hello All! One way of surviving the Holiday rush of December in the early grades is to plan some special "New Year's" activities for when we return after the holidays. Somehow knowing I had the first special activities for January all planned made me more peaceful as the crush of holiday programs, holiday crafts and all came swirling in during the last week before winter holiday break. With this in mind, I have posted a few New Year's resources on my website - of course if you know others I should share PLEASE email me and I will add them! ENJOY! _http://www.gaillovely.com/newyears.htm_ (http://www.gaillovely.com/newyears.htm) (or from _www.GailLovely.com_ (http://www.GailLovely.com) select resources and then scroll down to the seasonal section and find New Year's there...)
