Look What We Made!!

This year we made 2010 Calendars as a gift for our parents. Our handprints are on each page of the calendar. We loved making them. We hope you loved them too! A lot of love went into the making of them.

Our Christmas Celebration

We decided to do things a little different during our Christmas party. First off we had a morning breakfast party. Mrs. Jones made us pancakes. We also had YUMMY cinnamon rolls & the best part we played board games. We brought our favorites from home & played our classroom favorites too! It was fun hanging out with our friends!

Guest Reader

Marvelous Maggie's mom stopped by to read, Snowmen At Christmas. It was SO funny!!! She also brought along some yummy pretzel snowmen for us to munch on! We enjoyed the story and getting to learn mom about her.

Edible Snowman Art

Each month we have Cooking In The Classroom. This month I decided to present plain cupcakes, marshmallows, m&m's, mini chocolate chips, pretzels, icing, & frosting to the students & ask them to "create their own snowman." They were very creative in their art. I don't know what the liked better, creating or eating the final product!

Verbs..."It's what you do!"

This week we began our focus on VERBS. We played Verb-O (verb bingo), acted out verbs, & made a gingerbread girl. We read several versions of the book, The Gingerbread Man. The students noticed a pattern...he ran, jumped, skipped, slid, hopped, laughed, and much more. The books were full of verbs! We decided to make a Gingerbread Girl & come up with all the things she could do...dance, run, twirl, sing, slide, etc. It was a neat focus, not to mention yummy one too!

Christmas Field Trip

We traveled to the Performing Arts Center to watch a stage production of a Christmas Carol. It was put on by TMS students. They did a wonderful job! The students LOVED the bus ride over & back!! It was full of friendship & caroling!
