Christmas class party

To finish the school year, Thomas enjoyed a wonderful Christmas party with his class. The kids were too cute as they sang their blessing:



Thomas couldn't wait to dig into his bag of cheetos:


Afterward his teachers presented the children with their Christmas gifts, which included a book about New Year's Eve. In it, they included a picture of each child (in his/her own book).


In the back of the book, the teacher's started a sentence: "In the new year I plan to..." Thomas filled in his blank with "run on the sidewalks." :) I thought that was a cute, and safe, thought for the new year.

Thomas has enjoyed his 3s class and loves his teachers.


This was actually the last day for his assistant teacher (pictured on the left), who has to start student teaching to finish her master's degree in the spring. I know Thomas will miss Ms. S, but will adapt easily to her replacement.

I had to giggle about the artwork in the hallway. I have quickly learned that Thomas is the minimalist when it comes to artwork. His teacher tells me it's because he would rather be playing, but he's just not all that interested. When artwork is displayed in the hallway, I can always easily pick out Thomas' just by finding the one with the least amount of drawing.

The kids created beautiful Christmas trees and attached cut-out pictures from catalogs of things they wanted for Christmas. Can you tell which one is Thomas'?


Yes, that would be his, the first on the left. His wish toys were some tree thing and a ladybug tent. I wonder if Santa will come through for him?
