What a merry way to start off our Christmas Break. We had a great time performing our retelling of Jan Brett's,The Mitten, our poetry reading,The Five Little Snowmen, and singing our holiday tunes. We were so grateful to be joined by our families and friends from our neighboring Kindergarten class for this performance! What a beautiful backdrop handmade by Mrs. Cordoza and balloon props brought in by the S family!
Next off it was centers created by Ms. L's Fifth Grade class to make our day oh so merry! We made candy cane ornaments,drew in shaving cream snow,created snowmen with rice cakes for a yummy snack, bowled over snowpins, and played with snowballs in a creative obstacle course!
After our pretend snow day fun, we joined our families in a traditional holiday luncheon. Our bellies were very jolly! What a treat to taste all the of the traditional holiday dishes prepared by our families and even some very yummy desserts.
T's family brought us yet more wonderful wintry crafts including a picture frame, snowflake ornament, and holiday card to create right before we went to visit Auntie Claus.
Auntie Claus is one of Chets Creek's most wonderful traditions. Each year all students will receive a visit from Auntie Claus as she reads a story all about the holidays and who else but the one and only, "Auntie Claus"! The students munched on cookies and sipped their milk as they finished the day. What a great year to send off 2008 and join our families in holiday fun!
Merry Holidays!
