Isn't this picture cute? I found it on flickr. I wanted a group picture but she was just so cute!! Tomorrow we will have a craft and even if just one child shows up we will do it!

We've actually had very good attendance at our crafts. We are especially excited because Grandma Sue is coming in to do the craft. She has been our craft expert for years and retired several months ago. We sure do miss her around here!!

So come on in and say hey to Grandma Sue and we'll have a great holiday craft.

See you tomorrow!!

Joke of the day: What do you get if you cross Santa with a detective?
Answer: Santa Clues! :)

Pomona Christmas Parade 2009

Good Tuesday, young Pomonans! The parade was terrific on Saturday! It was wet but that sure didn't dampen any spirits. I only saw about 3/4's of the parade because I needed to get to work but what I saw I loved.

I especially appreciated the Village Academy kids being the grand marshalls. They really made a difference in their own lives as well as ours. Imagine being responsible for the President coming to town! Well done Village Academy!

I wanted to post these pictures on Saturday but we were having trouble with the computers. So you have them now! Be sure to check out Metro Pomona and Pomona Arts Colonist for more pictures.

Our schedule this week is:

Tuesday: 11:45am Preschool story time
4-6pm Homework help center

Wednesday: 3:30pm Grandparents and books
4-6pm Homework help center

Thursday: 11:45am Infant story time
4:00pm Holiday craft
4-6pm Homework help center

Joke of the day: Why is lightning so hard to catch?
Answer: Because it bolts! ;)

PPL Staff Setting Up the Tree!

Good day, young Pomonans! Today Ms. Nissa and I bribed the staff with Starbucks coffee and goodies to help us decorate the tree. It worked! We had holiday music playing and a lot of good cheer going around. As always, when the staff get together we have a good time. Today was no different.

All of our holiday books are now on display so come on in and check them out! We have books on how people celebrate these holidays all over the world, so if you are doing a report on that, we are ready for you!

Our homework help center is going strong on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 4:00 to 6:00pm. Their last day before the holiday break is December 17th. They will begin again in January.

Come on in for some great holiday stories. I'll post some of my favorites at a later time.

Joke of the day: What do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire?
