I was able to spend all morning in Lily’s classroom today. It was nice to meet her friends and watch how she interacted with peers and teachers. I was surprised to learn from her teacher that even in our small area, the teachers are really placed under pressure not to “celebrate” Christmas. In the past the entire month of December would be a time to talk and learn about all things Christmas. But I could not find one single “Christmas” item in the hallway or on her classroom walls. Lily’s teacher went on to explain they are given two parties a year and today was one of them.\u00a0 She arranged the classroom into 6 stations and each group spent about 15 minutes in each area. I was helping with the Reindeer cookies. I may add to these pictures later, another parent promised to send me better ones, since I only had my phone today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
