We did some holiday writing in our journals using the copied sentence frame 'I want a __________.' so the students could tell me what they asked for at Christmas. The students then used their alphabet visuals and their bubblegum technique to stretch out the words that they wanted to write and write the letters of the sounds that they heard. We did a second journal prompt using the sentence frame 'I see _________.' to write about the things we see at Christmas.
There are little Mr. Faunt and Mr. Belcher elves hiding around the school! We used a clipboard and a recording sheet to make tally marks and then count to see how many of each elf we could find.
For our math patterns unit, the students made Christmas coloured pattern chains. This activity is also helpful for strengthening our fine motor skills.
Some of the students decided to join their chains together to make one really long one! It was great team work and collaboration:)
Tomorrow we are going to be doing a holiday craft with our big buddies and will be bringing home the finished product. Just a reminder that my class will attend from 8:00 am until 12:00 noon. Also, I still have a few library books that have not been returned so please put them in your backpacks for tomorrow, which is our last day before the Christmas break.
Merry Christmas!
