Today I chaperoned Sami’s class field trip to the Christmas tree farm – it was so much fun! I got to ride a school bus for the first time in a LONG time! We went to the tree farm that backs up to our neighborhood where we get our tree each year. They gave the kids cider and cookies while the teacher (a substitute today) read the kids a cute Santa story (so happy to see them reading Santa stories and saying ‘Merry Christmas’!). The kids had traced their feet and then cut them out and colored them, and teacher had their creations laminated. We then used their “rulers” to measure the height of a tree. Then we measure how many feet it took to go around the tree. And finally we found trees that were taller, shorter and the same size as each child. I had 5 lovely girls in my group, including Sami – they were such fun. I have to say I was relieved not to have a group of all boys and try to keep track of them running around the tree farm! It was so fun to see Sami with her friends – they are such a sweet and happy bunch. What fun to go to Kindergarten for the day!
