In late December, we had a fond farewell for our student teacher from Dominican College, Ms. Falzarano. That was the beginning of our celebrations. At the end of the month, we took a break from our studies and even literally rolled up the rug, at one point, to celebrate each other, as students shared their talents and passions from dancing to photography to sewing. Later, bursts of laughter and sheer joy filled the classroom as we swapped Secret Snowman surprises. We learned that most of us keep secrets well (ahem)…, and know how to pick out just the right presents. Now, that we’re back in the swing of things, we will take full advantage of the winter doldrums to move full speed ahead with our studies.
