Two schools means two parties...
This is Kella's M-W-F school. With only 1 teacher and 10 kids, it feels a little less hectic come party time!
We've enjoyed this class so much this year. Kella & one of her best buds, Sterling, have turned out to have lots in common. Her mom is from Oklahoma, went to OU and is a sorority sister to a good friend of mine from high school. Kella thought it was pretty cool to learn that Sterling's grandma & grandpa live in Oklahoma too!
The setup for these parties are pretty special. Two child's parents are in charge for each party, bringing the snacks & planning the activity, each gets to add their own special touch.Hannah & Connor were in charge of the Christmas party.... here's Connor with his recordable book of "The Night Before Christmas" which had his grandpa's voice reading the story...(tear)
They also provided chocolate cupcakes with all the "tools'' to turn it into a reindeer!
Finished product! Funny story - when I told my mom about this activity and how cute it was, the school teacher in her dissected the entire activity, explained each detail & how it was such a great learning activity! Very true, Connor's mom led the class (following direction), told which piece to use (color & shape recognition), where to put it and even had printed pictures of what the finished product should look like (visual recognition). Thanks Mom!!!!

Party #2... This is Kella's Tue-Thurs class with 18 kids with 3 teachers, so it's a little more hectic, but still a great party! Each child brought a tiny carton for their gingerbread house...
we covered them with icing, attached come crackers and voila! A Gingerbread house!
The class had put together a little ditty, but first started by reciting the Lord's Prayer. They say this everyday in class, but wanted to show the parents as a group. It was adorable! This was followed up by a classic rendition of jingle bells!
Ryan was enjoying the festivities as much as we were!
