Winter Mug Exchange

Every year we do a winter mug exchange before we leave for the holidays. Each child brings a holiday mug stuffed with goodies. We number the mugs as they are brought in to class. Students draw numbers to find out which mug they get to take home. After each child receives a mug, they get to check out their surprises. It is so much fun to watch. It is like Christmas morning. After all of the excitement, we settle down for hot cocoa and a holiday story. Click here for a sample of the letter I send home about the mug exchange. I love the holidays! I'm just saying...
