December Fun!

Hi Parents and Teachers!
Whew!  The past two months have felt like a whirlwind, between arctic cold, no internet in our classroom, the norovirus, losing a phone due to water damage, and holidays time has REALLY flown by :)  We were busy in December learning all about Christmas traditions throughout the world, writing for a purpose, using patterns to help us read, working on our "Chunky Monkey" reading strategy, and beginning to practice time and money skills.  Here are a few pictures of all of our "busyness"

Christmas crafts from around the world!!

Gingerbread and Christmas themed centers.

Coloring our Christmas around the world maps.

Riding the Polar Express in our jammies!

Making Christmas trees to practice nonstandard measurement. 

Doing some fun data analysis with gingerbread men!

I will be posting a January update in the next few days.  I will also be posting an update for Reader's Workshop, Writer's Workshop, and Word Work, lots of new things coming!!  Crossing my fingers for NO MORE snow days :)
