Holiday program fun for pre-K and kinder students
Santa and Mrs. Claus were in Arlington last week.
They dropped in to visit pre-K and kindergarten at Burgin and Blanton elementary schools as part of a fun holiday program put on by 91制片厂鈥檚 early childhood learning department.
Don鈥檛 tell anyone, but Santa was really Ken Foster, 91制片厂 early childhood instructional specialist. And Mrs. Claus was Dr. Hildelisa D铆az, 91制片厂鈥檚 early childhood coordinator.
But the Claus鈥檚 were very convincing to the 4-, 5- and 6-year-olds who went a little wild with excitement when they walked in at the end of the program.
The program was full of fun, with elves, Frosty the Snowman, the Gingerbread Man and a dancing Christmas tree (all played by members of the district鈥檚 early childhood department) sharing a story and leading everyone in singing and dancing.
The story, 鈥,鈥 read to the students by two elves, offered a good lesson for the little learners.
Bitty the Elf was small but learned that he could still help out and do important things.
鈥淣o matter how tall or short you are, you can always be a good helper,鈥 one elf 鈥 usually known as Dr. Jackeline Orsini, director of early childhood learning 鈥 told the students. 鈥淜ids like you can always be a good helper.鈥
