Here are some photos (far end - - so I'm taking images of a screen!) from some of our Virtual Cookies with Santa videoconference programs yesterday. It was so nice to be able to 'visit' the North Pole and so many schools without having to travel! Students got to share their cookie creations with Santa, hear Twas the Night Before Christmas and ask questions. The students at the Kentucky School for the Deaf showed us all how to sign Merry Christmas and we learned the Santa likes to vacation in the southern hemisphere... He also eats sugar cookies for breakfast (although MAGPI does not recommend nor endorse a steady diet of sugar cookie breakfasts). Personally, I was VERY impressed with how many good deeds all of the students were doing, and I know Santa was, too.
We'll be scheduling a week of virtual visits to the North Pole next year for MAGPI members ... so start planning now! :0) View the videoconference agenda and projects at http://www.magpi.net/Community/Programs/Cookies-Santa.

That is awesome! What do they do with the cookies? Do they have to make cookies for Santa? Do they share recipes?
Hi Roxanne, We left the cookie project completely open - - some schools baked cookies, others made cookie ornaments and made cookie art projects. We had six schools in each session, so they got to share their cookie projects with one another and Santa. It worked really well! And helped keep the 45 minutes moving (we tried to switch things up every 10 minutes)...
