It’s the holiday season at Edmentum and the celebrations have only just begun. We turned to our amazing network of educators on Twitter, where we asked you to tell us what's your favorite holiday DIY, décor, or hallway display?
Over 35 educators responded with some incredible ideas! Here are a few of our favorite answers:
