The Stockings Were Hung
by Kim Parde
The Kindergarteners had a fun afternoon making Christmas stockings to hang in our room. We made them out of red construction paper and trimmed the top with cotton balls. They then stamped their names on the stockings so Santa would be sure to see it. THE STOCKING PROJECT
Christmas Stocking
What will go into the Christmas Stocking
While the clock on the mantelpiece goes tick-tocking?
An orange, a penny
Some sweets, not too many
A trumpet, a dolly
A sprig of green holly
A book and a top
And a grocery shop
Some beads in a box
A donkey and an ox
And a lamb, plain and good
All whittled in wood
A white sugar dove
A handful of love
Another of fun
And it's very near done
A big silver star
On top - there you are
Come morning you'll wake to the clock's tick-tocking
And that's what you'll find in the Christmas Stocking
