PARTY FUN!!!

We look pretty good in our PJ's...if I may say so myself!! We had four centers for our party...

We made reindeer food with graham crackers and glitter...don't forget to sprinkle it on your front yard Christmas Eve so the reindeer won't miss your house!

We ate a yummy breakfast of doughnuts, cinnamon rolls, and fruit!

We decorated cookies with icing and Christmas sprinkles...they were delicious!!!

The last center is where we made Thank You cards for Santa!

Here are some pictures of our Book Swap! Every child brought a book wrapped in cute Christmas paper. All of the presents were given a number, and then the kids drew a number to see which book they would receive. Then, we all opened the books together!! As you can see, they had a blast!

Here we are getting ready to watch The Polar Express! It was a fun, fun, fun day!!! Kindergarten is the best!!

WEAR PAJAMAS TOMORROW!

Tomorrow is our Party/Pajama Day, and your kids are SUPER EXCITED about it! Please remember to send a sleeping bag or blanket, pillow, and the supplies for the party you signed up to bring!! We will start our party around 8:15-8:30ish. We would love to have you come and help!! It should be a day filled with fun and Christmas magic!!!

NEVERMIND!!!

Thanks to those of you who sent a padded envelope! I had no idea how big they made them! I was really looking for a 5 x 7 or 8 x 10 envelope for each child. But, I have wrapped the presents in a different way. PLEASE be looking for your gift as soon as your child gets home...they will not have as many opportunities to be broken! I don't think they will break...just being cautious!

It will be up to you and your child about when to open the gift. It is a decoration, so you may enjoy it before Christmas!

Thanks for all you do!!

Padded Envelopes...

Hey Parents! I hope that everyone has had a great weekend! I have a favor...I need a padded envelope for each child to bring home their Christmas present for you. I hate to give a hint about your present, but they are probably breakable...the box said shatterproof, but I am never really sure, especially with little hands bringing them home!!! SO, I need some of those padded envelopes--the biggest size you can find will be super. We have 15 students. If you can send these, that will be fantastic!!

Thanks for all you do!
Laura

Reminders for next week...

· Remember to send your child’s snack EVERYDAY!
· Christmas party note went home last week…thanks to those who volunteered to bring supplies! I will return those notes home so you know what to get!
· Kids will need to wear pajamas, bring a blanket & pillow, and a wrapped book for the book swap.
· We will party from around 8:15-9:30 if you can come join us. Of course the food will be for the kids, so eat breakfast beforehand! If there is extra, we will be happy to share with you!
· Also, let me know if your child does not have pajamas they can wear to school. I will get them some so they feel included!
· Send your child in a coat every day! It is cold outside, but we will continue to go out to play if the temperature is 40 degrees or higher!!!
