A Ride on the Polar Express

Today we had a Polar Express/ craft afternoon. The kids came in and we had the table set with hot cocoa, a mini candy cane to stir, marshmallows and donuts. Then we made these cute candy cane reindeer. It was a fun time.

Colin found the silver reindeer bell hidden under his chair and received the first bell of the party. We also made candy canes out of beads and pipe cleaners.

The family we adopted

Yesterday I had the privilege of delivering gifts directly to one of the families that our school adopted. It was so special to see first hand how truly appreciative these kids were for what we gave them.

The older girls wrote thank you letters to our families and I wanted to quote a bit for you "...You made me realize that there are still good, caring, loving people in the world and when I grow up I want to do the same things you are doing for us and to other needy people. You are an inspiration to my life. . . Thank you for bringing a smile to my face and all of my families face. . .I didn't know other people could bring joy to others life God bless you a million times. " I just want to share the appreciation with all of you. Thank you to those families that donated items.

More great artwork

Frosty the Snowman

I am always amazed at how artistic my class is, we made these cute snowmen and they did a great job. We drew them with white crayon then traced the white crayon with glue, let it dry over night then colored them in with pastels.
