Finally it is Friday and the kids are so excited knowing we will have goodies this afternoon in celebration of the upcoming holidays. No school for two weeks and I am sure they will be so grown up when they return. I sometimes believe they grow in their sleep. I wore my red Santa hat, red shirt, white pants and red shoes and carried my treasures into the classroom. Ms Millie are those for us? What is in the bag? I see books – I see candy canes. I was sure to put their names on the books earlier so giving them to each child would be quick.
As each was called I gave a big activity book that has puzzles, dot to dot, find a word and coloring pages, plus a candy cane. Merry Christmas and thank you Ms Millie they chanted. It is so much fun to give these wonderful children a book to remember me by and a learning fun tool for their idle hours. Although I don’t believe children have idle hours – Moms’ just wish they did , sometimes. Happy Holidays everyone!
