GiggleIT Friends and Envoys

The GiggleIT Project is supported by many teacher-librarians, teachers, students, and schools around the world.

Mr. Giggle travels to Ukmerges Uzupio Secondary School in Ukmerge, Lithuania

Mr. Giggle enjoys the Advent Wreath celebrations with his students and teachers from Ukmerges Uzupio Secondary School, preparing for Christmas 2010 in Lithuania. The English class students, staff, and Mr. Giggle are making an Advent wreath together. The Advent wreath always has candles—this one includes fresh evergreens, cones, apples, and glass ornaments, too.

Mr. Giggle is happy to see that candy is also part of this Advent wreath! If we roll up each candy in a ribbon, then we can unroll one each day of Advent and enjoy the sweetness as we countdown to Christmas. Candles light the dark winter's night as Lithuanian children await Christmas.
