http://youtu.be/Pbjgi-r58Ao   Oh I hope this works. Here is a video I took today when Grace and I visited the Basilica Museum. Enjoy! I told you that there were displays from all over the world. I saw a couple of nativities from Mexico, but I didn't see any of the piñatas that they use for La Posada.

This is a nativity made from clay. It is from  Honduras. This one is from Peru and the nativity below is an Innu creation. Grace standing next to their giant Christmas tree.

Students will be completing a Christmas craft tomorrow afternoon. If you have any spare/loose buttons you no longer need we'd greatly appreciate any you can donate to our class. We will be putting them together and sharing with our classmates. If you do not have any, do not worry. We will have plenty. Any size, shape or color would be great. Thanks! Sara Ropson
