A Visit with Mrs. Claus

by Educational Enrichment Endeavors with Roxann Nys

NOTE: MRS CLAUS'S 2024 SCHEDULE IS NOW LIVE! PLEASE NOTE-REQUESTS ARE FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. You will receive a confirmation email once your program is scheduled.

We are so excited to announce we have been inducted into the CILC Hall of Fame!

This honor is given to the Content Providers who have received the Pinnacle Award for 10 consecutive years to acknowledge their accomplishments in creating live virtual field trip experiences!

This holiday program is an introduction to videoconferencing and allows your students to visit with Mrs. Santa Claus using technology. She will talk briefly about the tech used to connect the classroom and the North Pole. Children can ask questions about Mrs. Claus, Santa Claus, reindeer, elves, and the North Pole. Factual information will be given whenever possible, with an emphasis on helpfulness, kindness, sharing and giving, interwoven. To make the best use of the time, please have children think about or write down questions ahead of time and select those who will ask them. Mrs. Claus will answer as many questions as possible, but time constraints usually mean not all children will get a chance to ask. Listening and questioning skills will be reviewed by Mrs. Claus. After questions, students hear an age-appropriate holiday story and then wrap up their visit with a fun song and dance. If you have a request for a specific story, please inform Mrs. Claus at least one week before the program date/time. Also, if students are making return visits, please let her know.

NOTE: When submitting a request to schedule, please be sure to include a direct phone number for Mrs. Claus to call on the day of the program in case of tech issues or other concerns.
