Class Party....

 This is how it looked this morning on my way to school. Bet you didn't know I went to school. Well for parties and fun stuff, I do. It was a beautiful day.
Here I am with my daughter's 5th grade class. My daughter took the photo. There are 26 kids in her class...one boy was sick today. That's sad to be sick on a fun day.
 They have a Christmas breakfast. Parents bring in food and help serve them. They start the day with a moment of silence . Then say the pledge of allegiance. Then they were allow in line to eat...oh after going to the restroom and washing their hands. They had breakfast casserole, sausage links, muffins, donuts, juice, and milk. Then they play a game....my daughter wraps enough books up , one for each child. They start the school year with a number, that's their number till school is over. Angie calls out the first random number, that child unwraps a book....this gets it started...the next child can unwrap a book or steal the one already unwrapped. This is the first year that most kids just went for a wrapped book. Usually they will steal , the book can only be stolen twice. But at the end they can swap books , begging and pleading . So funny to me.
  It was a great day. I am late posting and visiting, I may have to visit tomorrow. xo

  8. Hi Susie, What a fun day for the kids? They don't get to have parties at some of our schools. They let them dress up using different themes during the holiday season. I just think they should let them have a snack and drink to show their appreciation of what a good job the kids did. Your teacher sounds like a wonderful teacher who really cares about her kids. Awesome. Have a wonderful weekend stay safe and warm. Hugs and prayers from your Missouri Friend.

  12. Susie,
    What a fun day this must have been for you! I remember going to all of my kid's school parties and functions. The PLAYS were the best when they got to dress up and performed.

    Merry Christmas to you, Susie, and may your home be filled with love and peace on this special day.

    You have such a nice family, and so blessed that you are around them all.

    Love,
    ~Sheri
