Christmas Party!!

All I want for Christmas...... 

We used shared writing to help us write what we wanted for Christmas. Then we cut apart the sentences and figured out how to put them back together!

 Then we illustrated them!!

 Reindeer Games!

Santa Math!

Check out that beard!! 

 Gingerbread Houses! 

What FUN we had at our Christmas party!! 

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Five Senses!

I like to use the month of December to learn about the 5 senses!!

Patterned after the Brown Bear Brown Bear, What do you see?, book - we make a Little Elf 5 Senses book! They turn out so adorable! The kids create illustrations to match each page. (Again, lost photos :(, but here are a few)

 Exploring our sense of FEEL with shaving cream!

 Can you see the word "The"?!

Dramatic Play Center

This is one of my very favorite Dramatic Play Centers! And it's one of the kids' favorites too!! Such Fun!! The possibilities are endless!

They are all SO excited for Christmas!!

Gingerbread Man!

Retelling the story of The Gingerbread man!

Gingerbread man "bite graph" 

We all took one bite, then graphed where our bite was taken: on the head, on the leg, or on the arm!
