Kris Kringle came to Olive's class today! The students all left one shoe out in the hallway, and when they went back to get them, Mr. Kringle had left a book and a bookmark and a candy cane. Olive was thrilled.

Olive made these puppets at school yesterday, and performed a puppet show for us this morning. Then all 4 kids performed it together. Wonderful.

Olive had a field trip to the nature center today. It was her first time riding a school bus, something she's been anticipating for a couple years, and she was so so excited. She told us all about it afterwards, and had a great time. She even made this little bird feeder.

Olive is getting so good at reading. It's really fun to watch her developing.
