More Christmas Fun

We were so busy at our Christmas party. Mrs Terre and I split the class into three fun Christmas Centers. Here is a picture of Mrs. Terre's center. They were making no bake cookies for Santa. The classroom smelled soooo good.. YUM.

At my center the kids made food for the reindeer. I am sad to say that with the rush of getting our coats on some of the reindeer food was left in the classroom. If your child ask perhaps you can make some as a family. Just take oats (oatmeal) and sprinkle glitter.

Shaking our glitter in our bag of oats.

Cooke Wrapping his present for mom and dad.

We sang a song as we wrapped our gifts. If you have gifts left to wrap at home let your little one help. Listen as they sing this cute song.

Oh, Im going to wrap a present, A present, A present.

Oh, Im going to wrap a present for Mommy (fill in with name) today.

I'll wrap it with paper and tie it with ribbon. Oh im going to wrap a present for mommy today.

Mrs. Judd (Jeremy's mom) brought in a wonderful Christmas snack. Jeremy's older brother Alexander helped serve. He was so Handsome in his Christmas apron.. Thanks to Alexander and his mom for their help.

Wow I can't believe we only have one more week of school until Christmas break. Your children have been so excited about learning this month. I hope that they have shared some of their fun and excitement with you. I love the fact that we have this space and time to share just in case they are a little quiet when they get home. Here are just a few pictures of what keeps us busy at school.


On Wed and Thursday we had a Triangle hunt in our classroom. The Children took turns finding the triangles that Mrs. Terre hid around the room. When they got back to their seats they were able to glue them onto their Rectangle paper. These are the shapes we learned about this month. Nathan found so many triangles.. What a great job.

Everyone waiting patiently for their turn to hunt triangles.

Ask your children about the red poem we learned. If they need a little help start them out with Red is a ______.. They should be able to tell you Red is a stop sign, Red is a rose, Red is an apple and Rudolph's red nose! Here is a picture of Brook wearing Rudolph's red nose.

Nathan and Rudolph's Red nose.

Jared and Rudolph's Red nose. I hope that this fun poem helped enforce the color red in an exciting way. It was also a great way to practice patience as we waited for our turn to be Rudolph.

After snack time each day we have quiet book and puzzle time. These two guys are the best of friends and had fun reading a book together.

Nathan reading Pizza Pat.. This book is a favorite in our classroom.. Ask your children what happened to pizza pats pizza.. It's really a cute story,and the children all know the quirky little rhymes.

Jared and Brook at book time.

Tack had so much fun with the pretend snow. He was so silly. He would put the snow in this glue cap and blow it.. Then he would just laugh and laugh and laugh..

Brook, Holland and Frances have become great hairstylist at school. They love to take turns doing each others hair.. Notice the blanket they are sitting on.. Brook is one smart cookie, she sings our have a seat song and lays the blanket out just like Mrs. Terre and I.. She knows how to get them to sit. LOL

Mrs. Terre and Cooke work on Cooke's Rectangle fire place Place mat. Ask your children how many Rectangles are on their place mat. Don't be surprised when they count the place mat itself. It is after all a rectangle. It was so much fun listening to your children tell us about their family and their stockings at home.

This month we have been blessed to have Mrs. Stephanie Worrel and her daughter Fletcher from the five day class come in for our enrichment program. They taught us all bout primary colors and what happens when we mix them. Here are a few pictures of the fun we had. Be sure to thank Mrs. Worrel and Fletcher if you see them at school.

Wow.. What great BIG paintbrushes.. Even Mrs. Terre and I thought these were cool.

Colin and Cooke taking turns with the yellow paint shaker. We used this one to mix with blue.. I bet you know what color we got then.. Ask your child if he/she knows.

Fletcher helping her mom mix the colors.. The children were amazed, as you can see..

Look at us at the carpet.. I am so proud of your children.. Hope you enjoyed some of the fun we have had.

THANK YOU so much to our party mom Devon Stronach. The children enjoyed the wonderful snack and were so excited about getting to take the thanksgiving blessing mix home. Also wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Cooke's mommy - Cindy Rodes for teaching our children in a fun and hands on way. The children had so much fun learning about cooking in the kitchen. I hope everyone was able to enjoy the wonderful recipe that she sent home. I know my family did.
