WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Santa came!!

We were just DYING to know what our big surprise was! We went to library like we usually do on Wednesdays, but this time, we sang some Christmas songs and SANTA came!!! We all got a chance to sit on his lap and tell him what we wanted for Christmas! He said we were all really good boys and girls! Mrs. Claus even came with and she told us all the good things she saw us doing not only at school, but at HOME TOO! 

We got to sing Christmas carols with Santa and Mrs. Claus like Jingle Bells and We Wish You a Merry Christmas.

Then Santa wanted to hear us sing some of the songs we are singing for our Christmas concert on Friday!

Mrs. Graumann, Mrs. Pagelow, and Mrs. Wagner all got to sit on Santa's lap too!!

At the end Santa gave us a basket full of candy canes!!

Gingerbread Friend Exchange Part 1

I am part of a collaboration group with other kindergarten teachers around the United States. We decided to do a Gingerbread Exchange with any school that would like to join, by having each student in the class decorate a gingerbread man, write a letter as a class about the school, and anything fun or interesting about our state, and then send one to each of the schools on our list. There were 6 lists with 24 schools on each list! 

Mrs. Kossman had a fun alphabet Wisconsin book where we learned some more fun facts about Wisconsin!

Our 5th grade buddies helped us decorate!

Here's our finished projects! Some of us decorated with snowmen, some of us put Wisconsin Badgers, Brewers, and Packers on there. 

We are all smiles and excited to say Bon Voyage to our Gingerbread Friends!

We got to walk to the post office to send them in the mail ourselves! SO Fun!

It was pretty silly because we walked to the post office in our JAMMIES since it was Pajama day!

WE CANNOT WAIT TO GET OUR GINGERBREAD FRIENDS IN THE MAIL FROM OUR KINDERGARTEN FRIENDS FROM OTHER STATES! Check back for pictures of our gingerbread friends! We also will display them out on the bulletin board outside our classroom door!
