Our Thursday “Blue Day” Class enjoyed just being together after having our Christmas program earlier this week. Grandpa Kelven was back and the children are delighting in another adult who is playful, respectful and ready to connect!
We had fun with the car tunnel ramp and Lego Land along with playing in all corners of the classroom.
IMPORTANT: There is something special in your backpack today…make sure to open it and read the note. Here are a few pictures of us getting it ready:

1. Who brought a special birthday celebration snack?
Wilmer! He got to come to preschool on his actual birthday and we got to celebrate him turning five. How perfect that his snack was a teddy bear in a bed…just like the bear in our story with the little mouse.
So if your children say they ate a bear and a bed and a pillow and a blanket today, this is what they meant!
2. Did you put stickers on your Christmas tree?
Some people kept it plain “like in nature,” some people added stickers to be lights and some people add stickers to be ornaments.
Some of the different colors were allocated to “snowballs” or “chocolates” or “strawberries.” We kept them at the table for decorations for snack time and for a surprise after Story Time…read the next questions to find out about that!
3. What did they call the porcupine in our book today?
Stick ball.
That was hurtful to the porcupine who wanted to be in the Christmas program. The good news is that he was comforted by his mama and at the end of the book he became the star for the Christmas tree.
4. Who put the star on your Christmas tree?
Ms Brenda! When we made our trees before a Circle Time, there were no stars on them, but after story time we went and checked and there were stars on them! Not just regular stars…stars with our pictures on them! Then we took them outside and made a Christmas Tree forest in the middle of the hay bales.
5. What happened when Ms Kristin push the button on the card?
A little character skated on a pond!
Grandma Bonnie was gone today, but she left this fun card for us to play with and look at. Some people liked to have the characters skating on their feet and other times it skated laying down. We figure it out it was a magnet in the card, which means that a jingle bell stuck to it as well.
We ended the day walking on the hay bales singing We Wish You a Merry Christmas to each other and Happy Birthday to Wilmer. Of course, we also sang the joke way…
