For thirty-something years, the sticky bun lady has delivered her treats to my house. It started when her girls were preschoolers in my class. Every Christmas Eve she would arrive, much like Santa. She never missed a year.
I was sure this year would be different, but it wasn’t. Another delivery. The tradition has not been broken.
We started to get together on Christmas Eve, but of course we could not this year. Instead we met on Zoom. It was wonderful. The tradition lives on. We caught up and we reminisced. They fondly remember paper bag owls from my classroom many years ago, and much more.
Thank you Sticky Bun Lady! You made my Christmas Merry.

About Jennie
I have been teaching preschool for over thirty-five years. This is my passion. I believe that children have a voice, and that is the catalyst to enhance or even change the learning experience. Emergent curriculum opens young minds. It's the little things that happen in the classroom that are most important and exciting. That's what I write about.
I was a live guest on the Kelly Clarkson Show. I am highlighted in the seventh edition of Jim Trelease's million-copy bestselling book, "The Read-Aloud Handbook" because of my reading to children. My class has designed quilts that hang as permanent displays at the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia, the Fisher House at the Boston VA Hospital, and the Massachusetts State House in Boston.

Happy holidays in a year when we kept our old traditions or started new traditions.
