Mele Kalikimaka!

Rayna's school had a Christmas performance day, so each class got to do a little song from around the world... it's pretty imaginative in how the songs relate to the various places in the world, but her class was one of the better ones! They celebrated Hawaii, and sang 'Mele Kalikimaka' and it was pretty cute.

here she is by our tree getting all ready for school.



Rayna was the flag-holder for the introduction,
i don't know why it's black instead of blue, it must have been the printer...



dancing like a palm tree in the breeze



and i thought i'd better add one whole class shot--they're pretty cute!


And while i'm on school things, I've got some pictures from afton's school Thanksgiving feast/party. I love her school!!!


the girls were careful to match that day!
here they are with Mrs King, the best kindergarten teacher ever!



it was a pretty impressive feast, they had all this food for everyone!



and one of afton's class, or at least part of them...

there were a couple songs and stories from/by the kids, and then the feast, and then we circled around the cafeteria and Mrs King led us in the turkey-pokey (as in hokey-pokey), it was rather silly, and i think all the kids loved the party!

we went to their Christmas party too, and Rayna and Malachi were included again, but i forgot my camera then. They got to frost ice cream cones green and add mini M&M's and marshmallows to make cute little edible Christmas trees, and they had a story and game, complete with a little gift. it was rather adorable.
