Holiday School Activities

This month has been filled with lots of fun activities at school. Elliot's teacher went all out and it seemed that the Kindergartners had a holiday event almost every day for the past two weeks. Lots of yummy sweets and fun crafts where to be had. It all began with making a Christmas countdown chain: 

 The room mom also decorated their room in the beginning of the month:

Gingerbread Day fell on Elliot's birthday, which made it even more special: 

And a Gingerbread House:

Up next was Reindeer Day with cupcake decorating and reindeer food making: 

Then it was pajama day with hot cocoa and a movie: 

 Working on some tracing skills:

Next up, Grinch day, involving last minute printouts for his shirt:

That same day, Amelia had Santa Day at school as well: 

The third graders did a craft and then watched a Christmas movie while eating popcorn and sipping hot cocoa. 

 Santa also came around and brought them each a book:

Finally, it was the last (half) day of school for this year and each class held a Christmas breakfast. I was going back and forth between the two classrooms. The timing worked well as I was able to see both kids during their sing-along and watch their gift exchanges. For the sing-along, first up where the kindergartners thru second grade and then third thru fifth grade. The excitement of it being last day of school and party time was audible:

 Breakfast time:

 Each child had to bring in a little goodie to fill everyone's stocking with:

I-pad time while waiting on sister's party to be over:

 Elliot and his teacher, Mrs. King:

Back in Amelia's classroom, we set up the breakfast table while the kids sang their hearts out. For Amelia's class, it was also PJ day:

Each child got a little gift from Mrs. Cowan:

Found myself another elf:

Photo booth fun: 

Each student had to also bring in a $5 gift card.

And with that, we are officially on Christmas break till January 8th. YEAH!
