Tuesdays/Thursdays PE

We have PE on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please dress your child appropriately. They need to wear closed toe shoes (preferably no boots). If your child wears sandals or crocs, please make sure the strap on the back is accessible.

Christmas Activities

Below are a few pictures of the activities that we did during December. I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and has a Happy New Years. Don't forget we come back to school on January 8th!

Here is our bulletin board. The kids made Christmas trees with their handprints. They turned out so cute! I loved the gingerbread girls/boys that were created. They were so creative. 

Our class was featured in the Jimp. We had been working on our Holidays Around the World project. Everyone had received their airplane ticket to travel to Mexico. We worked so hard and learned so much with this project. We studied the USA, Mexico, and Australia. It was exciting and interesting! 

Breakfast with Rudolph is always a fun time! We enjoyed our donuts, cookies, and chocolate milk. Afterward, we listened to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. We even did the Reindeer Pokey! A big thanks to the Carnegie Library for the wonderful event. 

We absolutely LOVED the presentation by the Barn Hill Preserve. They taught us about different exotic and native creatures. For example, we learned all about the sloth and the armadillo. I love their presentations. They are so informative and engaging! 

Here is a clip from our Christmas Caroling at Magnolia Manor. The kids had a blast singing. We decorated cards and ornaments to pass out to the residents afterward. 

Thanksgiving Projects

Our Thanksgiving turkey project turned out great!! I loved seeing the kids’ unique feathers. They all were so cool! 

We worked hard on creating moccasins. We talked about the Pilgrims, Indians, and the first Thanksgiving. The class colored their moccasins, threaded the yarn, and added their jewels. 

Graphing

Here are a few of our graphing activities that we did a few weeks ago. I forgot to post them. We graphed boys and girls in the class. We graphed our favorite pet. We even graphed our favorite Halloween monster. They had so much fun learning how to graph and how to vote on their favorite!

Veterans' Day Cards

Our class created Veterans' Day cards to give to the VFW last Wednesday. We thanked them for their service. The VFW was so thankful for their cards and our class was so proud of them. They put a lot of hard work into them.

Osmo

We have opened our new Osmo kit for our class to work with. We have two kits. There are different apps and manipulatives to go with the games. The games are varied but innovative and creative. So far, we are LOVING our Osmos! We have worked with the drawing monster game and the shape building activity. We will start our number identification game this week.

Canned food drive

The canned food drive has been extended until November 30th. Please continue to donate to a great cause. All donations will go to our local food pantry, Blessings of Grace, to assist with Thanksgiving and Christmas meals. Thank you so much for your contributions!
