December 18 ~ Holiday Party

Lots of kids and their families came on Saturday, from 1:30-3:30 for our holiday party. We had all the materials for the Wes Bruce project~ shoe boxes, straws, fabric, buttons, popsicle sticks, telephone wire, markers, glue, acorns....etc. The families worked together to create their own diorama. We had pizza and cookies and juice too!
