Class Christmas Party and a Dress Rehearsal

Today was the Christmas party for Hannah's class. The kids decorated their own cookies and had a blast doing it!!! I provided each kid with a plate of three different cookies. And then parents donated misc other items I asked for, for the decorating. When similar activities were done atHannah's preschool, each child was given their own dixie cup filled with frosting and their own plastic knife for spreading the frosting. I did that today, and boy am I glad I did! I don't think there was a single kid who didn't lick their knives...repeatedly!! LOL. Also today, was the dress rehearsal for their Christmas program they will do the next two days. The morning and afternoon class has combined thier talents and have been practicing together for the last month. Today they practiced before their first audience, their Big Buddies. Tomorrow they will perform for the afternoon's class parents and guests, and on Friday they will perform for our class' parents and guests. They did a great job, but you could tell some were nervous...like Hannah, despite being in the back row where really no one could see her today.

They all look adorable in those little Santa hats. It's a pity they don't put the kids in the back on chairs or something to make them just a little higher

Since yesterday was jus the rehearsal, they didn't have their risers yet. Today for the parent performance, and for tomorrow, they will move out all the tables and chairs and bookcases out of the room to bring in risers and folding chairs for the adults.

So for the 'real' performances, there will be risers for the kids to stand on and make them staggered as far as height goes.
