Teddy Bear Hug

On the last day of school before Christmas break for Ashley and Tyler, they had their Christmas Sing and Teddy Bear Hug. The Kindergartners sang Jingle Bells. They each had bells in their hands that they shook during the chorus. Tyler is on the front row in this picture.

Ashley and the other 5th graders got to sing and tell the story of how the song "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" was written.  I didn't get a picture of her.
After the singing, all of the students K-6th grade lined up to hug the teddy bears.

Ashley stayed close to her friend, Kaci.

 I love watching they hug the bears, especially the girls.

 

After the bear hugging, they went to their classrooms for a Christmas Party. They were so excited for the break from school when they left that day. Alyssa still had 3 more days before her break.
