Grandparents Day at preschool

What fun I had today. It was Grandparent’s Day at preschool.

The festivities began at 9am. First, they performed a little musical program consisting of 3 different songs with hand gestures. Some of the children were a bit shy, but not my Josh. He loves an audience. He is the third from the left in the pictures, next to the girls, of course (he is quite the ladies man, by the way.)

The kids had done some Thanksgiving crafts including a turkey head dress, a placemat and a turkey puppet. One thing they did that I thought was especially cute was a little turkey made using cardboard tubes from paper towels and some construction paper. There little handprints cut out of paper were the tail feathers.....cute.

There was also a craft in which the grandparents were asked to help. It was a Christmas ornament made by stringing a bell and some pony beads onto a piece of wire. We finished it off with a piece of ribbon tied into a bow at the top. Then we wrapped it around our finger to make it spiral.

This all ended with wonderful brunch made by the preschool children and their teachers. Each preschooler was asked to bring something. Josh brought crumbled bacon and banana bread. There were all kinds of muffins, egg and bacon and sausage casseroles, hash brown casserole, banana bread, coffee cakes, fruit and much more. It was very tasty.

After we ate, the preschool was dismissed and the kids were sent home with their grandparents. A good time was had by all.

Happy Thanksgiving.
