Happy Holidays
This week has been a very special week for our classroom family. Giving, caring, and sharing were the common words shared this week. Some of the activities we were involved in are listed below:
1. Stocking Stuffers - on Monday the kids made their own personal stockings. We hung them under our board with care ;) We spent time throughout the week writing each other notes of good wishes. The kids requested that we make stockings for everyone who help us throughout our everyday lives at BCE. The students weren't allowed to look in their own stockings until today. The students delivered the stockings around the school and then we sat on the carpet together and opened our stockings. I loved watching them read their notes. Genuine smiles and thank yours were exchanged.
2. Surprise Gift - the students were each given a piece of paper to draw a gift that they either wanted to give or receive. Below they were to describe the gift. We covered the gift with wrapping paper and hung them up with bags for everyone to guess their gift. Throughout the week students guessed each others gifts.
3. Snowflakes for a good cause- Recently some sadness has overcome a school in our nation. Several classrooms joined together making snowflakes for a good cause. I told the students that their snowflakes were going to welcome some students into their school after the New Year. These were shipped today and will be dangling from the ceiling in a very special school.
4. Christmas readers - I LOVE Christmas books!!!!!! I have so many to enjoy that the kids came up with the idea of inviting a kinder class to come to our room to enjoy them with us. It was great seeing them reading and getting involved in the magic of the season.
Below are the pictures taken throughout his week.
