“Gingerbread” Houses
All the K/1 classes met in the school cafeteria tonight to construct these gingerbread houses out of empty milk cartons, graham crackers, frosting and candies. A cute, fun project!

School Holiday Party
I signed up to bring a treat for the class holiday party, but the treat I decided on became an activity as well – decorating gingerbread men! So I dropped Anna off at Nikki’s house and headed to the school for the holiday party. What fun!
Did you know that the echo line in Rudolph the [...]

Get Acquainted Night
Tonight we dropped Anna off to play with her friend Nikki and took Carrie to her open house night. I was a little preoccupied with signing up to help out with events at first (and making sure we got a good time slot for parent teacher conferences!) but when I looked around the room at [...]
