Christmas caroling

All the practicing paid off.

Jo sang religious songs with her class at the evening school Christmas concert,
"Anam Cara, Come Jesus"
(anam cara is Gaelic for soul friend.)

On the last day before Christmas break, both girls listened and watched the older students put on Las Posadas, a re-enactment of Joseph and Mary looking for a place to spend the night in Bethlehem. Then Coryn's class sang Christmas songs, corralled their parents to do The Reindeer Pokey and shared cookies and hot cocoa.

That same afternoon I volunteered to supervise Jo's 5k class for a couple hours so her teacher could enjoy a special Christmas party for faculty. During that time, Jo's class ate lunch, went out for recess, decorated Christmas cookies and watched a Berenstain Bears video. Let's just say I was in dire need of a nap when my time in charge was up. The experience certainly gave me a greater appreciation for kindergarten teachers.
