End of the Year Balloon Countdown: Planning
Right now we are in the process of planning our end of the year countdown! Every year we do a Ballon Popping Countdown. If you have ever done one, you know that it is as much for the adults as it is for the kids! We hang 10 balloons up in the classroom and each one had a message in it. We pop one balloon each morning until the last day of school. Each message reveals a fun day or activity that we will be doing that day. We didn't want to skip it this year, … [Read more...]
