Christmas

This week we have begun our three weeks of Christmas themed projects and activities!!! We have our classroom tree up and the students are excited to see there are presents starting to appear underneath waiting for us to exchange on the morning of our Christmas programs. We have started making our gifts for our families and friends as well. I hope you enjoy them! This week we also focused on the letter Ii and the number 5. Mr. Joe came to read a special story to us about all the animals Santa tried out before settling on reindeer to pull his sleigh. 

Thank you to everyone who has sent back their decorated Christmas tree projects. They look great in our hallway. If you haven't finished yet and still want to send it in, please do! We will add them to the board. :-) Another thank you to everyone who joined us for our Families Being Involved event this morning. The cookies looked delicious. :-)
