[aisle] Holiday decorations/display

Mon Nov 28 14:43:59 CST 2022

I have previously done what Nichole mentioned, doing stories and displays
describing the various winter holidays that focus on light.  My elementary
kids like the various candle arrangements that appear on my counter.
Several years ago we pulled the majority of holiday books from the regular
shelves and put them away to be brought out when that holiday approaches.
It was totally a space issue, and a decision that most kids aren't looking
for Halloween books in April. Since then, our District has decided that we
aren't mentioning specific holidays in lessons or displays anymore. We're
still doing the book thing, as we simply don't have room for all of them on
the regular shelves, but no more LED candles.
