I helped the children make Christmas cards with their pictures on the cards. Love being creative when there is lots of different supplies in a class room.
Dec. 12th I got to sing and share my Felt board song “I’m a Little Tea Pot.” B wanted my phone more that’s why he was crying, I used my cellphone to listen to the song before I sang it to the children, I was nervous didn’t want to sing it wrong. c really like it.
