Christmas Chaos

It feels like forever since I have blogged! I've been so busy getting things ready for Christmas and our party that blogging slipped my mind. Here is a little recap about the last few weeks.

We went on a field trip to the tree house museum. Some of our friends got to participate in a gingerbread man play.
Which was extra fun because we were talking about gingerbread men at school.

We also had fun exploring the tree house.

We talked about what happens to animals and people in snowy lands, and how they have to change
their lives until spring.

The funnest part of December was doing all of our messy projects

We made Christmas trees

And decorated cookies

And since we didn't have any real snow we had to make some with shaving cream

The biggest surprise of the month was Santa visiting our class! We couldn't believe that Santa and Mrs. Clause (or Santa's grandma as the kids informed me) would take time in his busy schedule to visit us. That's how I know our class is extra special!

I hope that everyone has a great holiday vacation! We will see you next year.

Kick off to December

We had so much fun this week making decorations for Christmas.  We made candy canes to hang from the ceiling

and we made presents for our bulletin board.

 

Our learning focus this week was the letter H, the number 3 and transportation.  Ask your kids kids what happens to your hand when you say the H sound. (it makes it hot) 

I also want to let everyone know that the calendars have been updated in your child's folder.  Please make sure that you check your child's folder for any important notes and go through the work your child has done.  They really get excited to take home their folders and show off their good work.   December will start our half birthdays so make sure if your child has a summer birthday to check the calendars for their birthday days.

Next week we will will be talking about ice cream and igloos.  We will also be going on a field trip to the Tree House museum on Wednesday and Thursday.   Please text, call or email me with any questions.

Thanksgiving

We have had a great time talking about thanksgiving the last couple of weeks. We made scarecrows, sun catchers, pilgrim hats, placemats and Indian corn. We also reviewed some of the things we have learned so far this year. I was so happy to see how much the kids have picked up already.

I would like to thank everyone who brought food in for the feast the kids had a blast. They thought it was so cool to eat lunch at school!





I hope everyone has a great weekend a happy thanksgiving!

 

 

 

Buitars and Monkeys

Our letter this week was G.  The kids did really good when it came to writing and recognizing the g, but when it came to finding things that start with g it was a whole new story. Almost all of the kids thought guitar started with B and of course a gorilla is just a monkey.  Eventually I think they made it through. 

We did lots of crafts this week, but some of them had to sleep at school.  We painted fall sun catchers to hang from our ceiling for thanksgiving.  The kids are very excited to show off their work.  We also made gates and grapes from puffy paint.

Next week we will be talking about Thanksgiving and reviewing all of the things we have learned.

Halloween Party

I just want to say thank you to all of those parents who stayed for the halloween party.  It helped a lot having you there! 

The kids had so much fun showing off their costumes,  playing games and making spiders.
