PPCD Family Night

December 7, 2007

 PPCD students and their families had two hours

to enjoy snacks, make crafts, and have fun together.

There were 18 stations set up which covered:

art, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, literacy skills,science,

and math. Some were just plain fun! Mrs. Pointer finished up by

reading The Night Before Christmas.

Here are examples of the Stations we had for Family Night:

Matching and patterning bows, making letters out of marshmallows,

finding letters in the "snow", throwing bean bags into Santa's

stomach, "bowling" and having some snacks with parents.

Happy Holidays to everyone!
