Mrs. Piggington's Class Celebrates Noon Years

by Angela French & Cindy Price

In Mrs. Piggington’s Class Celebrates Noon Year’s, the class is learning about Celebrations Around the World, when Gerry Giraffe gets nostalgic about New Year’s in Africa. Mrs. Piggington has an idea to celebrate Noon Year’s with the whole class on their first day back from holiday break!

With excitement building throughout the day, Mrs. Piggington’s class prepares for their special celebration filled with excitement and anticipation. With the room filled with festive decorations, each student has a chance to look back on their year and dream about what’s ahead by writing their own Noon Year’s toasts and goals. There’s even a page that can be reproduced, so students can write their own goals.

As the countdown begins, the classroom fills with laughter, cheers, and a sense of togetherness that makes this celebration truly unforgettable.

Perfect for classrooms and families alike, this heartwarming story helps children:

• Reflect on past experiences and set meaningful goals
• Understand New Year traditions in a kid-friendly way
• Build classroom community and connection
• Celebrate growth, change, and new beginnings

With charm, warmth, and a touch of sparkle, Mrs. Piggington’s Class Celebrates Noon Year’s is the perfect read-aloud to kick off a brand-new year—no midnight required!

3… 2… 1… Happy Noon Year’s!
