Our Holiday Party is Coming Soon!

As winter break draws near it is time to celebrate the season with our school family that we have created this year.  I am looking to you, the students of our classroom, to share what you would like your party to look like this year.
For many of you, this may be your last elementary school holiday party, and we want to make sure it is special.  We will have 1 hour for our party, broken down into three 20 minute stations.  Please think about one activity that you would like to do during our party.  It can be a game, a craft, or an activity.  Think about the materials that we have available to us in our room.
Please post your activity as a comment to our blog.  We will then vote for our top 3 favorite activities for our party.
Remember to keep your ideas realistic.  I will only approve blog posts that seem appropriate for our party.
Remember to use your initals and classroom number for your blog code.
