Polar Express

What a wonderful last week we had together before Christmas break!  In math, we enjoyed "opening presents" and counting the objects inside.  We "elfed" ourselves and they turned out so cute! We got to listen to the classic Grinch story and made our own Grinches and thought of a way to help the Grinch grin.  The morning class had fun at the school sing-a-long and all of us had a great time boarding the Polar Express, riding the train, listening to the story, and drinking hot chocolate.  Enjoy the pictures and your holiday!

Candy Canes and Christmas Fun

We had another fun week learning in kindergarten as Christmas keeps getting closer! Our monkey friend, Candy Cane, is watching us each day to see if we are being good in kindergarten!  We played lots of fun Christmas games and did many Christmas-themed learning activities.  We decorated our own trees and counted the ornaments.  We read around the room with giant candy canes.  We also wrote Christmas lists for some fun characters like Darth Vader, Elsa, Spiderman, and Cinderella.  We made a class book where we used our imaginations to turn a candy cane into something new.  We also read a story about the reindeer getting sick and Santa needing to find a replacement.  The kids came up with some great ideas and made their own ending to the book thinking of a new animal to pull Santa in his sleigh.  Enjoy the pictures!
