North Rose-Wolcott Roosevelt kids celebrate holidays
'Twas two weeks before Christmas when all through Roosevelt's Children's Center's North Rose-Wolcott off-site classroom, the teachers were planning and preparing for a day full of fun. A Christmas Activity Day with a specialty lunch of lasagna was prepared by the children. The children layered the lasagna in pans with lots of noodles, then sauce and the meat. The cookies were baked by assistants Suzie Phillips and Jenny Windsor, with plans for the children to decorate with icing and sprinkles. The children were excited and thrilled in hopes that their parents or grandparents would come. The teacher, Sue Everdyke, and Speech Therapist, Donna Collins, assembled a tree and the children decorated it from top to bottom with ornaments that they had made using paper, paint, glitter and red and white beads on pipe cleaners in candy cane style. The parents arrived, on Tuesday for the afternoon class and on Wednesday for the morning class, ready to play. They were greeted by a classroom full of smiling and excited children. J.J. Hamm is pictured here with his mom, Laura Simmons. The children matched stockings hung in the hallway with care. They crawled, jumped, and rolled through an obstacle course designed by Trudy Bellamy, the Occupational Therapist. The children traveled down the halls of North Rose-Wolcott Elementary School on scooter boards, powered by their parents. They were in search of shapes to create a picture of Rudolph. At a table in the room, they filled Santa's beard with lots of soft cotton balls that the students and their parents had blown to each other, with the help of a straw. They also wrote their names on a stocking with glue and then sprinkled glitter on it. It was a wonderful day! Copyright © 1998 |
