Oh what fun it is to be a kid in second grade! Our Polar Express party was a blast!
Special thanks to Mrs. Belmonte and Mrs. Recor for helping to plan and organize this wonderful and creative celebration. We greatly appreciate the generous monetary donations earlier in the year and the donations of party supplies and goodies for our treats! A big thank you goes out to all of the parents who volunteered their time during the party organizing, serving the children and cleaning up afterward!
We started with a fun and sticky sweet project! The kids used lots of fun candy pieces, graham crackers and frosting to create a Polar Express scene! They turned out really cute! The kids absolutely loved the project!
While the class was busy designing their train scenes, each child had a turn at the hot chocolate bar. There were marshmallows, chocolate bars, whipped cream, and crushed candy canes to top it all off! We listened to the the soundtrack from the Polar Express movie as we sipped our drinks.
Miss Emily made each child a bag of reindeer food with oats, sugar and glitter. The tag says:
Sprinkle on the lawn at night,
The moon will make it sparkle bright.
As Santa's reindeer fly and roam,
This will guide them to your home.
These Rudolph cookies were just too stinkin cute to eat!
We tried to keep the food nice and healthy to balance out the blood sugar from the hot chocolate! We enjoyed grapes, cheese and crackers.
In the morning, the kiddos made their own bingo boards. They colored the tiles, cut them out and glued them in their lucky arrangement.
My team of volunteers cleaned up while Emily and I took turns being the bingo callers. They were amazing. It didn't even look like we had a party!
The kids wore their pajamas and snuggled up to read by flashlight.
I think they loved the first gift of Christmas bell ornaments I made for them. It was cute when the children asked me if I could hear the bells ring!
Happy Holidays!
Have a wonderful and restful break!
