Holiday Activities

So, I first must apologize for not posting anything since Halloween!  I thought for sure I did a Thanksgiving post...but I guess it never happened.  Below is a plethora of Holiday crafts and activities we did through December.  The kids had a blast preparing for Santa :)  I hope that everyone had an amazing break!  I included some pictures of my Christmas Break.  Looking forward to an awesome 2014 in room 107!

We made several different ornaments for the kids to take home and put on their trees.  I made the base ahead of time out of Popsicle sticks.  Then the kids glued puzzle pieces on them, painted them white, and of course sprinkled glitter on them :)


Next up, we made these cute little paintings!  I got the idea from Pinterest :)  The kids enjoyed getting their feet painted as well as finger painting.  I laminated them and sent them home...I figured these were keepsake material.


A big part of our holiday preparation was float building!  We decided to enter a float in our local Holiday Parade.  We had a lot of great parent participation and the kids really enjoyed riding on the float the day of the parade.  We ended up taking first place!!


During our Christmas Party in our classroom, we made gingerbread houses with our parents.  I think more candy was eaten than was stuck to the houses :)


And here is a little glimpse of my Christmas Break.  I got to spend it up north where my family as well as my husband's family lives.  I had a great time catching up with family and wearing pajamas more than I probably should have :)
