Christmas

My school had a door decorating contest and first grade did "The shops at the North Pole" theme and each of us had a different store. Here is a picture of our door.





Here are a few other things we have been up to. The children wrote an alliteration sentence using gingerbread man. The also made reindeer and wrote three sentences describing it.




I send home a monthly family homework project and this month they were to make a wreath using thier hands. The children had to do kind things around thier home then write them on a their handprint then glue together to make a kindness wreath. Here are a few pictures.


Here are a few more pictures of other things the children have been doing.

Reindeer Munchies

I have done this project for years and the children just love it. We take bird food and a little magic flying dust (glitter) and put it in a bag for the children to sprinkle on the roof on Christmas Eve. My own son even does this and really enjoys throwing it on the roof before he heads to bed, he even looks in the morning to make sure the reindeer have eaten some.

Reindeer word game

We played a word game today using reindeer cards. The kids got to draw a card from the mail box and had to read it, if they could read it they put the card in the middle and continued on until someone pulled the HO Ho Ho card then all cards had to go back into the box. If the children couldn't read the card they got to call a friend to help them to read it. They really loved this game and had such a great time calling a friend, reading and using the Santa mail box. I had some of our word wall words on the cards along with some new words.
