First of all,
Thank you for all the generous, cute, thoughtful gifts from you and your children!
I am a blessed teacher!
Here's wishing you and yours a peaceful, love filled
Holiday Season!
May 2013 be blessed with family, friends, and good times!
The last week of Kindergarten before
Winter break was just packed with fun and learning!
Here are a few of our morning challenges:
Polar bear sentences!
Polar bear number order
Penguin number awareness...
We matched the number word with the numeral, the tens frame, and the tally!
One of my favorite Holiday projects,
we learned how to make paper chains as we created a count down to Christmas!
Oh my! Here we are so dressed up and ready for our Winter concert on Monday afternoon!
The k kids were so cute!
Tuesday was reindeer day!
We read about reindeer and created these cuties....
A whole herd of adorableness!
In the afternoon we had centers...
This table is working on reindeer beginning sounds!
Here we are spinning tops to write the Holiday word the top landed on...printing practice is priceless!
This center is Santa's Sleigh Surprise!
We counted up all the gift using counters if necessary.
This was Holiday patterns!
And finally, this is our "brain break" table.
We created these adorable button wreaths!
This huge card was part of our
Christmas Card Workshop
Somehow, I forgot to show you our adorable penguins from last week....
we talked about how penguins come in different sizes...
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that tiny one!
Here is our Has/Can/Is chart
about penguins.
These K Kids have a mind for science!
These reindeer are also one of my favorites...
a new PINTEREST project for this year!
These Inuit children are also from last week
as we learned about this resourceful culture.
Oh, a wonderful free choice area...
THE CHRISTMAS BOX!
This is just a copy paper box brimming with Christmas Junk!
Fun to sort, count, use our imaginations with!
This is a close up of the Santa Spinner center...
what a fun way to print!
On Wednesday we had our Kindergarten
Switch-a-Roo day!
While my kiddos were making a bag and card with Mrs.Pilger or the gift with Mrs. Kalmes,
I had their kids in to make a lovely
hand print poem for you!
We also created the wrapping paper to protect our project and keep it secret!
This year I could not read the poem aloud...
It brings tears to my eyes and with the tragic events
last week, I just could not get through it.
Your little ones are soooo precious!
Even when painty and messy!
With the Winter storm bearing down on us,
I sent the k kids gifts home a day early.
Good call!
Thursday was our first snow day of the year!
Friday we tried to catch up!
We did have wonderfully delicious
HOT COCOA in the crock pot!
Our roomed smelled heavenly!
These little Polar Express trains
were fun and easy to make....
Here is our HOT COCOA bar before....
and during our snack!
YUMMY!
Mr.O'Duggan bought all cute little Santa mugs
for our class.
He is such a sweetie! Thank you, John!
Hope they all made it home in one piece!
Oh My Goodness!
Did you get a gander at the adorable
RICE CRISPIE Train that Gabby
and her family made for us?
Unbelievable cute!
Thank you sooooo much,
Darien and Christina!
Here is a sweet pic of a k kid thoroughly
enjoying his hot cocoa creation as we watched
the song from Polar Express,
HOT CHOCOLATE!
Here is the link to it on youtube:
If you can see the printing,
you will notice our chart was ready for Thursday or Friday....now that was prepared!
Here are some of the books we read this week:
Coming up for our first few days back in 2013:

See you in 2013!
