No school due to Christmas break.

Today was a busy day again at school. The celebration was for Jesus! In honor of him, the kids wore their pajama’s to school today and decorated gingerbread houses. I was a bit worried about pajama day and Isabel getting cold, so I added another layer underneath which was a good thing because the car temperature read that it was only 26° outside! Brrr!

When I arrived to pick her up from class, I was greeted with… “All the kids are “sleeping” because they have worn themselves out from all the fun and the pajama’s had made them sleepy.” Mrs. W said.

Fast “asleep” in their pajama’s…well mostly asleep.

Her returned homework assignment for the month of December. I like that they added the photo to the present as well. Isabel’s present is happiness, holly, the sun, a rainbow, and baby Jesus in the manger.

This is a shapes (circle, triangle, square, and star) project of the three wise men from the other day. Today they were allowed to bring it home.

Today’s special helper was Presley. For show and tell, she brought a ladybug pillow/animal. For snack… in the words of Isabel… “We had so much food today, Momma. We had candy, cupcakes, apple cider, juice, applesauce…” No wonder she didn’t want to eat lunch, what a celebration!

Tonight was Isabel’s Christmas preschool program at school. Her class/group along with the pre-kindergarten classes, preschool 4’s classes and even the preschool 3’s classes were in attendance! Isabel’s group (the 4’s) ended up being the largest group on stage and it was hard to see her at times (and she was moving). We had a few laughs and I enjoyed watching the parents act silly trying to get the attention of the kids from on stage! Enjoy!

This is what she thinks of getting her picture taken.

This is the best I can get from her…stinker!

Trying to get the kids organized before they sing.

This is the only “clear” shot that we got of her. At one point, she turned around and was singing to all the kids standing behind her.

The 4’s, sang “You are the one” and recited the poem, “This is the Angel”. They even said a Bible verse, Isaiah 9:6, “For unto us a child is born.” After all the groups sang their songs, they all sang, “Go Tell It On The Mountain” together as one large group. Afterward, we had cookies in the gym before heading home in the cold.

BTW… we did purchase the DVD recording of the program, which we will not be getting until after the New Year. I hope that I will be able to post it here. Merry Christmas!

We had a busy day today. While Isabel was at school, I ran several errands all over town and was able to get everything finished on my list and back to school to go shopping with Isabel at the school’s Santa workshop in gym. All proceeds from the sale go back into the school and all gifts were under $5.00. Isabel was able to purchase gifts for Mrs. W, Mrs. Calvert and Daddy! She was so excited.

At school they, had a full practice run for the Christmas program tomorrow night. All the kids, from all the preschool classes were in attendance. Isabel said that they sang and sang and sang and sang. She was tired of singing, she really must have been because she was yawning all the way home!

Snowman fingers on ornament. This ornament is so cool! I love it!!!

The special helper today was Isabella. For show and tell, Isabella brought a white and black bear. It’s name was Rolla. For snack they had cupcakes and juice.

Not much going on at school today. Isabel didn’t have much to tell me. They worked on a special project that she’ll be bringing home on Wednesday and worked on the song’s for the Christmas program on Thursday of this week.

This is the class homework project for December; presents under a “hand” tree. The tree is made up of the hand prints of the kids from both classes. The prints were cut out, the fingers were curled, and then overlapped on the board to look like an actual tree. Very clever, Mrs. W and Mrs. Calvert! Can you find Isabel’s present? I’ll give you a hint: it’s the only white one.  Also, can you guess who’s hand is holding the star?

The special helper today was Olivia. For show and tell, Olivia brought a black hamster (not real), who’s name was Stinky. For snack they had oranges and water.
