Instead of the typical holiday party in Tyler's classroom his teacher does something different which I think was a lot of fun! It is called a "Warm and Cozy" and all the kids and parents are invited to come and hang out in their pajamas and read books, do crafts, eat a snack and have a book exchange!
I, of course, could never wear pajamas in public and Kurt and I don't want the kids to either but we still had fun in our regular comfy clothes!
We started out the morning with a little snack of Bagels with or without cream cheese, bananas and milk or juice.
Then the kids broke into two groups (girls and boys) and while one group was listening to a story being read, the other group got to work on this really cute craft, a sock snowman! These turned out so adorable I really would like to do them for a church babysitting!
Here is a picture of the whole class with their snowmen and their teacher with hers in the very back in the middle! She is a very energetic and enthusiastic person. The kids really respond to her! 
After that they had a book exchange. All the kids were asked to bring in a slightly used book they could exchange with someone else. The teacher wrapped them up and then the kids were to sit in a circle on the floor with their wrapped book in their hands. The teacher then began to read a book and every time she said the word "snow" in the story the kids would have to pass the book once to the right. This was actually quite funny and the kids (and parents) had a lot of fun! I was only going to stay for the little party but I ended staying and hanging out with Tyler while he ate his lunch and played on the playground.
Both of us had a lot of fun spending some time together at his school. I am most definitely going to go and help in his classroom again! This is what memories are made of!
