Our first snow day!

Southern Wisconsin is bracing for a blizzard! Most schools have already called off tomorrow! I took the kids out at lunch recess and they had a blast in the snow piles already! I can't wait to see how big those piles will be by Thursday! I plan to do some knitting and some scrapbooking tomorrow and plan my first Kindergarten Open House.


As this is my first year, I changed up the roundup to more of an Open House. I am planning on a teddy bear theme. I made huge plastic bear signs and put them out on the school sign. I should have taken them in before the blizzard so they are probably miles down the road by now! I sent out handmade invitations to our potential students. Some ideas that I have for the Open House is to have them paint a teddy bear with q-tips, a scavenger hunt for bears placed around the room and having them sort the plastic bears into groups and colors. I hope that they each bring their favorite stuffed animal and I will take a picture of the family and send it to them as a thank you. I have to do some more searching for ideas to do to make it successful. Teddy grahams as a snack will be good.
