Specialty

The Queen of Windsor (or was the the Queen of Santa Rosa?) visited James' preschool earlier this month.



The classrooms all make a big deal of pushing their desks together and creating a royal banquet table. The teachers decorate. It is marvelous! The kids are given the option to dress in costume to meet the queen and feast at the royal ball. What a neat way to engage in creative play, teach table manners, and put a little zip in a month that has been largely cold, grey, and damp.

I love this picture because I see James being shy but wanting a hug from his queen, then getting totally sidetracked by becoming fascinated with her gloves.
