We had a New Year’s celebration with 3 different centers today. One was making and decorating gingerbread houses out of milk cartons and gingerbread cookies.
Another was writing New Year’s resolutions. A resolution is like a promise that we make to ourselves that we want to concentrate on. Some of our resolutions were to get better at tying shoes, to do homework independently, to snowboard or ice skate better, and to stop picking at our nails. 
After we made our resolutions, we made cool snowflakes out of people. Erin’s dad showed some children how to make snow people that are connected. 
The third center was hot chocolate and a story. Joseph B.’s mom and Conor’s dad read The Polar Express to children while they enjoyed their warm drinks. 
When the centers were done, we had a special holiday snack. Before we could eat, Ms. Stern made a toast and then we counted down to our pretend midnight. After shouting, “Happy New Year!,” we popped the poppers, which had confetti inside. 
We also had fireworks playing on the Smartboard. At the very end of the party, Joseph B.’s mom took a picture of the whole class together in our pajamas.
Madison S. wore her robe today. Joseph B., Casey, and Ms. Stern all wore slippers. Ms. Stern’s had bunnies on them. Other special events that took place this week included: a performance of Tacky and Wacky by Ms. Jones’ and Mrs. Ochman’s classes, Madison S.’s mom came in to do a holiday candy cane craft with the class, finishing up our secret project, and we decorated our time capsules. It has been a very busy week! We are very excited for school tomorrow because it’s our last day before vacation!
