Count Downdown to Noon!

This was extremely successful! I had over 30 kids (and some babies) and 25 adults!

We stared at 11 with the Hello New Year Goodbye old song.

Then the book:

Shante Keys and the Black Eyed Peas by Piernas-Davenport - then we talked about what kind of traditions we have at our house.

Next we did "Can't wait to Celebrate" by Jim Gill.

Then I did New Years is marching round the bend EIEIO with puppets

Then we practiced counting down

Then I read First Night by

We then went to do some crafts:

Spin drum
2019 head band
coloring sheets

I put on some dancing music when some kids were finished. We did the hokey pokey.

At 5 til noon I called them all together and we grabbed a handful of confetti and counted down and threw.

I had bought some kisses but I forgot about them until after. Whew!
When I was picking up the confetti a few kids came and helped me pick it up. It was awesome!
