Holiday Party!!!

I had the best time today!  I hope the kids had as much fun today as I did.  We had an awesome breakfast party. Snowman and mitten donuts, fruit, yummy yogurt, cookies, and juice.  I am sad that it is holiday break, I will miss these little kiddos.  They are very precious in my heart.  Enjoy the pics!!

Start the day rolling with a little Christmas coloring.

Catch Me if You Can!!

We had a lot of fun with these gingerbread activities.  First was a sequencing/retelling activity that I "borrrowed" from Ms. Doennig's class.  She was "spot on".  The kids loved the TV and retelling the story.  Thank you Ms. Doennig!!  I think we need to work on left to right sequencing!!

This is our compare/contrast using a venn diagram.  After reading each story we made a gingerbread man with characters, setting, and the problem/events.  We then completed the venn diagram. They liked coming up with things that were the same and different.

Ready for the Holidays!!!

No major projects from my kiddos yet, but I did want to share my classroom door (above) and the bulletin board (below).

The bulletin board was an inspiration when I googled Christmas poems.  This popped up and I figured it would make a cute bulletin board.  Each student made an elf  (googled elf crafts) and they are jumping on the sleigh.  Each day I pick a stick from my jar and that is the student that will fall off the sleigh and "slide away".  The picture shows two elves to the right that have found that jumping on the sleigh isn't the safest thing to do.  The kids get really excited when it is time to pick.  Some want to be picked to "slide away" while others want to stay on the sleigh.  It is a lot of fun to move the elf down.  The student who is picked gets to decide how he wants his elf to land.   Apparently they like to land on their heads!! I then change the number to whatever is left to jump.

We have only one elf to fall of the sleigh!!  Poor guys, as you can see the elves had a tough time

on the sleigh.  The kiddos had a blast with this activity.  We recited the poem each day as the child who was to fall off the sleigh went out the door.  I just love the "pile" of elves!!
