RENA'S CHRISTMAS PARTY

Party #3 - the last one - was on Friday morning in Rena's classroom........

We started out the fun by making snowmen out of soap and toilet paper.  It was messy, but a lot of FUN and they turned out really cute!.......



Ashlyn, Rena and Makayla......

Rena and her teacher, Mrs. Moreau........

 

After we made the snowmen it was time for a book exchange.  Everyone brought one wrapped book to exchange.  They all put their books in the middle of the circle and then chose one book that they didn't bring.  They opened their books and then the fun began..........they each got one turn to take someone elses book that they wanted.  Each of the kids is either a 1, 2, 3 or 4 in class so the 1's were first -- they were allowed to trade books one time with someone else if they wanted to.  The person whose book they were taking didn't have a choice they HAD to trade if someone wanted their book.  Once the 1's were done it was time for the 2's then 3's and finally the 4's (which is what Rena was).  Rena really wanted one book that was there -- Mallory's Sleepover -- the bad part of this was that one of her good friends had the book.  She went over to trade books with Hadley and Hadley was so sad to be losing the book that Rena felt sad for taking the book.  In the end they played the game how they were suppose to and Rena ended up with the book (hard lesson for both of them, I guess).  Rena promised Hadley that she would pass the book on to her after she read it and now Rena also wants to get Hadley a different Mallory book of her own as a Christmas present!

After the book exchange it was time for food.  More yummy snacks........

Another successful party.  I was very lucky that I got to go to all 3 parties and celebrate the holidays in all 3 classrooms!  I had a great time (and got to eat a lot of delicious holiday treats!)
