In Kindergarten here parents can come into the classroom around the holidays and share a family tradition. When Clare was in Kindergarten, I started making these golden-noodle-wreath ornaments with the kids. Wyatt and Lorien had made a similar ornament in Kindergarten at Orion when we lived in Redwood City. I decided I wanted an ornament for each kid (I'm sure I've talked about this before) so I signed up for a holiday tradition sharing. I decided to show the kids our measuring tree and make an ornament.
I've been sharing the tradition for each child's class since. Today was my very last one! It was a little bitter sweet... Mostly, I am happy it worked, I have a Kindergarten ornament for each kid!
Also, a family from New Zealand came in and taught the class how to do the Haka for their holiday share. Colter showed it to me after school and it was awesome!
