Christmas Fun EXTRAVAGANZA!!

Christmas in kindergarten is FUN, FUN, FUN!  After "elfing ourselves," and creating gifts for our parents, we ended the last week before Christmas break with a celebration.  We made gingerbread houses with our special class friend, Mr. Hubbell (Luke's Dad); read Christmas stories with Xzavier's grandma and aunt & Alivia's mom; and made cool snowmen crafts with Reagan's mom and Carter's mom. Much fun (and sugar) was had by all!

 

 

 

 

GRINCH DAY!!!!

On Grinch Day, we snuggled up and watched Dr. Seuss's classic, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.  Later in the day, we were visited by the Grinch!  He started taking our stuff out of our cubbies, but he decided to be nice and give it back.  In fact, he was so nice, that he left us special grinch snacks later in the afternoon.  They were very yummy!

More Christmas Fun -- Reindeer Week

Reindeer Week

During Reindeer week we learned about reindeers, made reindeer snacks, dressed up like reindeers, made cute little reindeer sacks of reindeer food to guide Santa's reindeer to our houses and made glow- in-the-dark Rudolphs to brighten up our classroom.

December's Christmas Fun - Run as Fast as You Can! RUN! RUN! RUN!

You Can't Catch Me!  I'm the Gingerbread Man! 

December’s Christmas fun is now just a fond memory.  But we wanted to share all about the fun we had.  We began by reading The Gingerbread Man by Jim Aylesworth and The Gingerbread Girl by Lisa Campbell Ernst.  The culminating event for our Gingerbread Unit was to make our own gingerbread cookies.

 

We put them in the oven before we

went outside for recess.  But when we returned to retrieve them from the oven, they were GONE!  There wasn’t even the tiniest crumb!

BUT…we did find a note!

We looked everywhere… in the school library, the office, the cafeteria, & the art room…to no avail!  We could not find those little guys anywhere.  We did find what we thought might be tracks and signs in the hallways suggesting that they had come through that way.

 

Luckily, in the end, we found them in our classroom!  Then..we promptly ate them!
