Kindergarten Christmas Party

Look at all those little polite hands in the air!
Even Luke had a politely-raised hand.

Ella's class of fun

Gotta roll up your sleeves before your snacks

I don't know if I've ever mentioned this but I help with Ella's class on Wednesdays for 1/2 hour. They divide up for something called "centers" during this time in groups of 4 students. I'm in charge of one set of 4 students (which always includes Ella) along with Luke. Somehow, Luke has become some sort of pseudo-mascot for the class. When he enters the room, everyone calls out "Luuuuke." It's kind of like the episodes of Cheers when Norm would come in the bar and everyone would yell out Norrrrrrm (except for Woody who would say "Hello, Mr. Peterson."). When we leave, some of the kids need to have a hug before he can leave.
I volunteered to help with the Christmas party and Luke came along with me. The kids were so good at the party! We gave them a bunch of healthy snacks like grapes, apples, cheese cubes, and crackers. There were enough cookies for them to have one each. I was the bearer of the cookies and took them around to all the kids. Some kids refused the cookies (Crazy kids!! What were you thinking?!?!) but each one of them were so polite that it was amazing. They all said "please" or "No, thank you." After they ate, they all played a little Christmas bingo.
