By the 3rd or 4th grade, do kids have as many in-class parties as they do in the earlier grades?
Halloween or pre-winter break celebrations I can understand, but does Thanksgiving warrant in-class party? |

| Where are your kids in school? My kids' mcps school has never had any holiday celebrations other than halloween and valentine's day. personally I think that thanksgiving could be much more interesting in older grades since they have learned about native americans and some us history. |

| No and no Christmas parties either. So annoying how we have to be so PC. |

Ikr, we are having a "winter holiday party" at my ds' school, but he will be out that day since we are traveling for Christmas -excuse me, winter holidays, this year.

| FCPS allows for 2 parties a year. Smaller celebrations don't count. If a teacher did a fall party, then winter is typically skipped. Don't know how DC or MD do it. |

| My child's school had a "Fall Festival" party instead of a Halloween party, but it was on Halloween. I just roll my eyes at it. |

| In our FCPS, we have small in-class celebrations at Halloween and Valentine's Day. Those are held for 1 hour, and don't count as parties. Then we have 2 parties - one at Christmas time that is called the Holiday party and a year-end party. This has been for K, 1st, 2nd and 3rd. My kids haven't made it any farther than that so far. |
