Caroling and Our Christmas Party

We went caroling around the school.  It was a great time.  You could hear us singing the carols the rest of the day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I forgot to take pictures of our Christmas party...which I didn't even realize until I went to post pictures.  When we came in from recess we did our gift opening.  Thank you for your generosity to our class.  We received several boxes of colored pencils (very needed), a few magnadoodles (great for small group work), a beanbag, card stock, craft items, books, word/writing activities, itunes gift cards.  I'm listing them from memory so I hope that I didn't forget anything.  We are really looking forward to using these items when we get back to school.

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday.  See you next year!  :)

Our Season Tree: Autumn Edition

We were a little late taking the fall picture of our tree.  Unfortunately we had quite a bit of illness in our class and I like to make sure that EVERYONE is included.  We found this tree had a few leaves still hanging on.

HATS!

The highlight of Hh week is making hats.  The students colored, decorated, and then wore their hats to lunch show them off.
