An out-‘ line of each hand was traced on’ colored paper. cut out. and dec-‘ orated with the nursery school's own "glitter" â€" to the initiated} painted and crushed eggshells! The mothers' chairs were ranged around one classroom with a rug in front of each.i When the mothers were seated. many with younger children on. their knees. the nursery school} students filed in and took their. places. each in front of their‘ own mother. Then the concert began. The mothers were finâ€" ally able to hear ALL the wordsi to the snatches of songs they; have been hearing at home for weeks. It must he admitted. however. that while the singing of the teachers came through; with clarity. it seemed as if; many of the children in their interest in gazing around at the unfamiliar faces. quite forgot to sing. They didn‘t forget any of the gestures. though. and all made splendid pine trees wav- ing' in the wind and slept an-geli-. cally at the ‘closing line of! “Away in a Manger". ‘ The highlight for the child-‘ ren. however, was when the say Christmas tree was denuded of all its trappings as each child was given a share of the orna- ments to take home. They ran back and forth to their mothers excitedly carrying their treas- ures. Each child also proudly presented their mother with a table centerpiece. gain decor- ated with pine cones. bells and other ornaments carfully insert- ‘ed in a block of styrofoam. ‘ The children then retired to the other room for their morn- ing juice and cookie while the mothers chatted over coffee and cookies until it was time to ga- ther up and go home. As they went out each child was given a gay parcel containing a tan- gerine and a candy cane.
