Worry Dolls
12/20/2012
During the last week of the fall semester, CH and LE students received a small bag full of six tiny worry dolls from Guatemala. They learned how to tell their dolls any worries that they may have right before going to bed and then how to place them underneath their pillows so that the worry dolls could take away their worries during the night. When classes resume in January, students will discuss whether or not their worry dolls worked over break. Please click on the above link to see pictures of the worry dolls.
