Last Week in School...

We played two math games, Capture on the 300 Chart and Collections Match.

 I had a sore throat and couldn't read well, so Ethan took over read aloud for me.

Mrs. Walker came to school to do a pointillism craft with us and our Kindergarten buddies. It was a lot of fun!

 

We made two writing projects into cute crafts. We wrote stories about having a reindeer and making the Grinch grin.

Last Week in School...

We celebrated Homework Club. These six kids remembered their homework every time in November!

We played two different math games. We played Go Collecting and Close to 100.

 

 In Language Arts, we played charades by acting out action verbs.

 

  We played Just Dance during indoor recess, and we loved it!

Sophia's mom came to visit our class and read to us from our Boxcar Children series. 

We wrote stories about being one of Santa's elves and then made an elf craft to go along with it.

For Sign Language, we learned winter words and then played a fun game with our new words.
