We took turns reading the chart. Counted our number of days in school. We did a new greeting. We pretended to be an elf and said good morning to our neighbors.
We read Merry Christmas Big Hungry Bear by Don and Audrey Wood. "Mouse is ready for Christmas. His tree is decorated, His presents are wrapped, his stocking is hung; he is ready for Santa to come. But what about his neighbor the big, hungry Bear. Bear loves presents, but he never gets any because everyone is afraid. What can one little mouse do to help Bear have a wonderful Christmas?"
Math....
On white boards we practiced drawing shapes. Recognizing shapes called out and drawing them on the board. Also being able to identify how many sides the shapes have.
We also played the dice game. Roll two dice add them up and write the number on your board. This is for practice writing numbers correctly, adding and subtracting too.
Language Arts...
Letter matching game. Walking around we look for our partner. Today we added a twist! You couldn't just hold your card up showing it to the group while walking around, you had to give a clue that identifies your letter and see if you can find your partner that way. Easy peasy!
We read The Very Snowy Christmas by Diana Hendry. "It's the night before Christmas and Big Mouse and Little Mouse are putting up decorations. Little Mouse scampers out to search for holly but finds big white flakes falling from the sky."
Kindness continues.....
We did a project making snowmen with cotton balls. These will go in our baskets of cheer for the Elderly folks who appreciate a little "pick me up" during the holiday. Today we made some snowmen pictures with cotton balls.
Free Choice....
Boy pack! Who doesn't like legos.
Zoe and Else being teachers.
To end the day, we read Friends Forever . Who doesn't love Snoopy and the gang. This book is all about showing kindness.
