Class Christmas Parties

Friday, the last day of school before the three-week break, was a fun day of parties for both my girls.

Mrs. Shafarman's holiday party was a lot of fun, and included the dreidel game for the fourth- and fifth-graders. Here, Cora shows the dreidel to her partner, as the students win or lose stacks for pretzels.






I feel so privileged to be able to help out in class for these special occasions.

 The snowmen craft came out so cute! Here are Sophia, Gianna and Cora with their snowpeople.
Unfortunately, the craft involved one of Sebastian's favorite toys - the puffy balls used for earmuffs. He quickly removed one once it was on display at home.

Cora is a lucky girl to be in Mrs. Shafarman's class. She is a brilliant teacher who pushes her students to become better.

After Cora's party, I went across the building to help Violet build her gingerbread house. A bonus from being in a K-1 split class is getting to do the project again!

As a big first-grader, Violet needed no help at all, but of course I love being a part of it all. She did a great job.

Violet loves her teacher, too, and it's great to have the familiarity. Behind her is the gift card tree the class put together as a Christmas gift.

And then, after our fun day of partying, we were off on our three-week Christmas break!
