This morning we had Parent / Teacher conf. and the teacher told me that the class holiday party will be on Dec. 21. I will be working from home that day, till party time, then back home again to finish out the day. T. P.S. I need to come up with 2 "holiday" (not Christmas) activities and a craft. Any ideas?? I have one, we are going to have a snowball fight with toilet paper.. That is this generations version of dodge ball that the kids are not allowed to play any more.
