Pictures for Dec. 20th

We had a great last day before Christmas Break!  We started off the day by "lighting" all 4 candles on the Advent wreath.  Baby Jesus is almost here!  

During Writing Time, we drew our self-portraits and wrote our name for our December page in our portfolios.

 Then we did some sorting on the carpet using pom-poms.  Today we sorted by size: big, medium, small.  


Then it was time for some dancing, since it was raining and we were stuck inside!  We stomped like dinosaurs...

 jumped like kangaroos...



 and ended it with one of our favorites..."Octopus"






 Then it was the time for the party!  Thanks to the Room Moms and parent helpers!  We had a blast!
 We made reindeer food to put out on our yards for Santa's reindeer.
 Then we read the Nativity Story to remind us the true reason for Christmas.


 Then we made Candy Cane ornaments.










 And then had fun decorating foam trees with stickers.






 We enjoyed our snack; graham crackers and icing with sprinkles!  Yummy!


What a great party!

Pictures for Dec. 15th

 We started our day off with gym.  We walked forward on the balance beam.  Mrs. Robertson worked with students who were hopping on one foot and then switching to the other foot.  Then we got out the hula hoops and practiced throwing and making a basket!












 On the way back from gym, we found a toad on the sidewalk!
 Then we did our attendance on the SMARTboard and worked with pipe cleaners and sparkly beads.
 The students had to lace the beads on the pipe cleaner.  I then had them put a certain number of beads on the pipe cleaner.  We worked with numbers 1-4.  The students were then able to take the pipe cleaner and the beads home.  This is a great activity to do at home to work those small motor muscles and hand/eye coordination and also counting skills!






 Our completed attendance chart!
 Then it was Jesus Time.  For the story, we dressed up in costumes!  The kids loved it and it was very fun to do the story this way!













 Everyone gathered around to worship baby Jesus!




 After snack, it was Music Time!  This class loves to move and sing!  We did a new clapping song!

 We also did a jumping song!



 During Center Time, the students were able to play with the costumes.  Many of them spent their whole Center Time dressing up and acting out the story.  It was fun to watch!










 Some of us finished our Christmas tree pictures!  You will get those next week!



Another great day in school!
