This week during our Book Buddies Christmas party, Ms. Misty from the front office came down to our room with a special delivery - from the North Pole! She brought letters from Santa's elves, answering our Santa letters we sent last week! Our Book Buddies helped their little Buddies read the letters, from elves like Pixie Dust, Peppermint, and Elfie! It was SOOO exciting!
We celebrated Holidays around the world on Friday, by learning about Hannukah. We played Dreidel and made Menorahs and learned about why Jewish people celebrate the Festival of Lights!
That afternoon the kids travelled to Mexico, Norway, and England to learn about holiday traditions there, as teachers rotated rooms and each taught about a different country!
We had another wonderful visit from a pet... Grace bought a pet shop card and brought in her cute and sweet puppy Fox!
We wrote winter poems to put on our Poet Tree, and created snowflakes in math, practicing symmetry and shapes, to decorate the tree as well! Before the poems went up on the tree, we had a wonderful poetry reading! It was super fun, and the kids got a chance to practice public speaking!
We also did some really fun writing and imagining about what we would do if we were one of Santa's reindeer. The kids brainstormed ideas such as "I would have a rainbow nose" and "I would have jet packs so I could go really fast!" I love our class's creativity!!!
We also had some fun contests for all of elementary this week, like a Christmas coloring contest and a guess how many candies are in the jar contest! Santa comes Monday night at 5 to Tok School... be sure to sign up on Facebook for a time, and take home a cookie decorating kit! Next Tuesday in our class Christmas party!
