In this annual TNCA activity, students work on various craft projects during the month of December and earn "money" for the time they put in. On the last day of school before break, they can "buy" presents in the "gift shop" for friends and family.
Winter workshop integrates a range of lessons--hand craft skills, time management, math, industry, appreciation of others' work, planning, and pride of accomplishment--and it's also tons of fun.
