A Spot of Tea

Published on December 18, 2017 under Multicultural

Today — I think I was so excited and anxious about all our extra events today that I pulled one from tomorrow’s agenda and placed it on today. Arkansas Advocates did not come today. At 9 AM Emma said ” Maybe you mixed it up. Check your email. ” ( I hope you totally said that in Emma’s accent ! ) And alas ,I did. They will be here tomorrow ! 🙂

Except for the anticipation of visitors it was a really normal day.

I made green wintergreen scented playdoh last night to add to our exploration of evergreen trees this week . The kids loved it and it made our room smell quite wonderful – like a fresh Christmas tree. The kids enjoyed being curious about the provocations that I set out.

Since Ms Emma was here I decided last night we should take full advantage of her and have a ” spot of tea.” The showed the children where she moved from and asked important questions liked ” how do you think I got here?” She talked about their tradition of having tea in England and even role played in the dress up room how to ” have tea” with your friends complete with the pinky stuck out . I told her I almost always do that and I am not British and she basically said ” That is because you are prissy.” Ok then… LOL. We loved having her here. Thanks Emma.
