Winter Break

Friday was the last day of school until January 3rd 2011. Mr. M wanted to have a Christmas party for his class. They took a vote on what activities they wanted to do and the majority wanted to build gingerbread houses. Since I am the Class mom I built a class web site from shutterfly and had a volunteer list available to all parents that wanted to bring in items for the gingerbread houses. I have been the class mom every year since kindergarten and this is the first year the majority of the parents come to all the parties. Since everyone was so generous and brought in so much for the gingerbread houses I decided to bring my Chocolate Fountain with Marshmallows, Bananas, Apples and Rice crispy treats for dipping.

Thursday Mr. M came back into school and set up this Christmas tree with presents for all the children under it. When the children arrived to school the next morning they were all so excited about the tree with presents for them. Mr. M told them that Santa came and delivered the tree with all the presents because his class was so good this year.

They use a milk carton for the foundation of the gingerbread house.  They use cake icing to make the gram crackers stick to the carton.   

 When the children saw the fountain they flipped. There must be something in a kids mind seeing all that chocolate flowing freely. Way to funny!!!! 

I just had to get some pictures of me and my little guy in here.

Mr. M is now ready to open his gift.  On one of our field trips Mr. M's handle to his cooler brake and he coulden't wheel it because it hurt his back so we all chipped in and got him a new cooler with a nice long handle.  We also included a gift card.
