Christmas!

I love Christmas time! The kids are happy, music always playing, and fun surprises lurk around every corner. Today I got ready some stockings for my kids. I glitter their names and hang them before they get to school. Then I ask moms to fill them with candy or little toys. My kids wear a Santa hat and deliver their presents to each of their friends.

Royal "T"ea Party!

Today was the big day!  We did our Tie and Tiara Royal Tea Party!!  It was such a great day! We really believe that learning should be fun and engaging!  We had 6 different centers...we couldn't have done it without some wonderful moms to help run the centers!  Here are some pictures of the day...

We love trying out things on our kids to see what works and what doesn't.  The castle game and the bingo were a great addition this year.  Our kids always love creating their own castle with sugar cubes and colored icing.
You can get the whole theme with ideas from how to set your classroom to printouts of the games and centers HERE!  This unit is a repost as I added pictures from this years party!  We would love to hear about your ideas for thematic units as well!

ACSI Convention

We are at a wonderful conference in Orlando. We are enjoying the area and getting to know each other a little better and hear some amazing speakers. My head is full of great new ideas like do the hokey pokey as we review our letters. Another great idea is to make a Bible basket for each child and have them put it by their beds. When they have something new from bible they can put it in their baskets and share it with their parents.
