Christmas Party Day

We came to school in pajamas. We went to the Center Room to watch Polar Express, eat popcorn, and drink hot cocoa. Then we went to our room for a Happy Birthday Jesus party. I made owl hats for the girls and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle hats for the boys. My K5 nappers were more excited about the hats than the younger students. All of my kids heard the bells. ;)

More Christmas Pictures

We joined Mrs. Jones and her class for the Polar Express party in
the center room. ;)

Destination of Operation Christmas Child Shoe Boxes

Our OCC shoe boxes went to Madagascar!  There are videos, pictures, and testimonials of the children receiving shoe boxes in Madagascar on this page.

Grinch Party

We had green snack items while watching the Grinch cartoon.

We listened to the story and discussed how Christmas is about the birth of Jesus and how we give gifts as a symbol of the Greatest Gift.

Check out our Grinch masks.
