Every year our kindergarten has a friendship feast.
Each class is required to make a dish to pass and share with ALL of the kindergarten students. Our school has
five kindergarten classes with roughly 20 students in each class. Yikes!
Although this event takes lots of planning, the outcome is amazing! All of the
students come to the gym with a handmade hat and placemat. We have long strips
of paper laid on the gym floor as their tables and children get to sit wherever
they would like. After the principal shares a holiday story, the children get
to sample all of the different foods that the classes made. It is so wonderful
to hear the students talk about the food that they made and hear how proud they
are.
This year my class will be making Fruit Pizza. I like to ask parents for donations on events like this and
would get so frustrated keeping track of who was bringing what. Luckily I found https://www.signupgenius.com/this year. I highly suggest giving it at try! The website is
free, easy to use, and even has the option to send parents reminders. I decided
not to invite parents via email and listed the link on my newsletter instead. I
love anything that will save on paper.
