Kindergarten Parties

Here are the long-awaited pictures from the Christmas Party. I got sidetracked with my trip to Europe, and forgot to post them. It was a great party. We collected money for a group gift for our teacher. We were able to buy her a gift card for Southwest Airlines to fly to see her family. It was a big surprise. We made crafts including: Reading Buddy Christmas Cards, Paper Plate snowmen (lacing craft), playdough ornaments, jingle bell ornaments, candy cane reindeer. We also read the Polar Express and had yummy treats. Thanks to all of the volunteers who made this fun!!

Giving our gift to Mrs. B. She was so excited!
