Today we were transported to the North Pole. “A Visit with Mrs. Claus” was sponsored by ESC 3. Mrs. Claus read to the classes and answered questions about Santa, herself and the reindeer. Even though we didn’t have any interactive classes, the students were mesmerized.
Some of my favorite questions from the day:
Q: How do reindeer fly? A: We sprinkle magic dust on their hay.
Q: What does Santa Claus eat? A: Mostly cookies, but I make him eat his vegetables, too.
Q: What time do you and Santa get up? A: We don’t sleep much this time of year. Usually only a couple of hours a night.*
And my favorite question of the day…
Q: Why is Rudolf’s nose red? A: We feed him “Hot Tamales”. The hot tamales makes his tongue red, then when he licks his nose, it turns it red and starts to glow.
*Funny story for my Twitter friends. When I tweeted this question, I received an answer from @MrsSantaClaus on Twitter! She says they get up at 4:30 am. I just though it was hilarious that she answered my question.
