12/14 Today I was lucky enough to
get to perform on stage with the first graders and kindergartners from
Mrs. Burns' and Mrs. Best's classes. We all got cool reindeer glasses.
We sang Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer! 12/15 Today we drove to the Oakland
Paramount Theatre and saw the Nutcracker Ballet by the Oakland Ballet.
We had REALLY GOOD SEATS! I sat in the front row with Carley! I was so
close to the stage that I almost jumped up start dancing with the dancers.
I got to see the orchestra pit too! Then we ate lunch in the park. 12/16 Today I got to travel all around
the World learning about how Christmas is celebrated in different countries.
It was really fun. My favorite country was India...because Mrs. Burns did
that country. We made lots of things and I even got my own passport. The
TV came and we were all on the local news! 12/17 Today we first met with our
fifth grade buddies and made cookies. Then we read the book That's Not
Santa and dressed Santa in different suits. Then it was party time.
We had a lot of fun making lots of Christmas projects...just when I thought
the excitement was over..who popped in but SANTA! I asked for a bone and
got my picture taken! Then it was time to say goodby to all the boys and
girls at Arroyo Mocho. I am looking forward to getting back home for the
holidays! Mrs. Burns packed me up very carefully and took
me to the post office! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!
Love, Addey
