Another Party
I don't think I mentioned it here before, but I went to a meeting that the school had for parents about helping with school functions back at the first of October. Afterward, the principal mentioned that it was the perfect time for the volunteers to meet with the home room mothers and start planning the Halloween Fall Party. I looked for some mothers of children in Shelby's class. I found one and another two came over. When it was said and done, there were five of us. We each asked who the home room mother was. Nobody knew. There was one mother who had a child that had this teacher previously, she knew about planning parties because she'd been a home room mother that year. She went to talk to the teacher to find out who the home room mother was. She came back with grim news. There wasn't one. So, here were five women who had no leader. The other four of us were "first time" Kindergarten moms who knew nothing about planning a class party. 
I was willing to help all I could, but I did NOT want the responsibility to be thrust upon my shoulders. Thankfully this mom stepped up to the plate and volunteered to plan the party with the help of the other mom's and myself! It was a hit and the kids had a wonderful time.
Now it's time to begin to think about planning the Christmas Winter Party. I think that I would be more willing to step up and plan this one. I love Christmas. There is an awesome party planning site that can help with anything from Christmas Candy Recipes to party games. If you need expert advice, this is the place to be. Registered members can share party ideas and see photos, recipes, and videos from other members. I'll keep you posted on the planning of this party. Hopefully the planning and execution will go as smoothly as the previous party!

What a lovely sky you've shared today!!! As for the parties ... as a teacher I was eternally grateful to room moms who planned and executed such events ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
I love your sense of community!That what makes me feel even more willing to get out of here!
Portuguese definitively don't own such thing!
Last year, Wilson cried on his Christmas party at school cause he had rehearsed his song so many times and then the school didn't allow the parents to watch their lil'party....
Awfully sad!...I left his school yelling and cursing this damn country....
