Thank you for all the great sentences using the Chapter 12:00 words, impaled and/or shenanigans!

• Jonah B.'s submission, "In the first Frozen movie, Olaf was impaled by an icicle." was drawn. Congratulations, Jonah!
• Shout out to Mrs. Stowell for her creative sentence using both words: "To make sure you do not impale yourself while working with scissors, it is best to be focused and not participating in shenanigans." Excellent advice!
