2011 Holiday Activities

Take a look at some of our holiday activities. We made Christmas trees. Mrs. Morales led us in a holiday activity. Santa came to visit and gave us gingerbread cookies. Our holiday song was "Do You Hear What I Hear?" We had our holiday dance in the auditorium.

Holiday Fun

Our Holiday Fun began on December 16 with our angelic performance of "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing". We were in line getting ready to sing for our parents, who were patiently waiting in a very crowded auditorium. It was so crowded that our teacher did not get to take the group picture she wanted. Our fun continued the next day with a classroom visit from Santa. We sang a song with him then he gave each one of us a candy cane. Santa was on a very tight schedule and we couldn't take individual photos with him; we took a group photo instead. Afterwards, we went to a dance party in the auditorium. Despite his busy schedule, Santa stopped by to dance with us for a short while. When our dance time was up, we went outside to have some hot cocoa and graham crakers. After our snack, we went back to our classroom and passed out treats to our friends. We had a lot of fun and thank you PTA for your hard work!

Singing at Our School Holiday Program

Today, we performed the last set of four performances at the 2008 Holiday Program of Delevan Drive Elementary School. It was so crowded today because of all our school parents. If you missed our songs, we recited Over the Hill and followed up with the famous Alvin and the Chipmunks holiday hit, The Chipmunk Song. Here's your chance to see us in action as we sang in front of the rest of the school children yesterday.

A-Hunting We Will Go

We just came back from our Spring Break, but we recalled the day before we went on break when we looked all over our kindergarten playground for colorful eggs. First, we decorated our bags to welcome the coming of Spring. Then, we went outside our classroom and discovered that eggs were scattered all over our playground. We each had to find no more than 15 eggs on this day. Some of us finished early and began helping our classmates find others that were hidden in places not easily found. After our egg hunt, we went into the classroom to count the number of eggs we each collected. After making sure that everyone had 15 eggs, we opened them to find surprises inside the egg containers.

Did you go on your own egg hunt this past break? How many did you find? What do you discover inside your eggs?

Snow in Los Angeles?

Thanks to our dedicated Parent/Teacher Association (PTA), we were able to experience something many of them had not yet seen in their young lives: SNOW! Brought in by an ice company on December 14, 2007, snow transformed our school into a winter wonderland with a visit from Santa, a place to make snow angels, a refuge for hot cocoa, and a hill to slide down.

Holiday Card Exchange 2007

Our kindergartners sent and are receiving holiday cards to and from schools throughout the United States. This project was organized by Technospud Projects. The cards were designed in Microsoft Publisher, and it includes a digital photograph we took of ourselves. Take a look at what we have created below (and see where each one was sent in our Holiday Card Exchange 2007 Picasaweb Album).
