Gingerbread Houses and Candy Canes

We have been in the Holiday Spirit in Room 1412 lately!  Our Gingerbread houses turned out beautiful as well as their Christmas Tree Ornaments! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The kids had so much fun putting their Gingerbread Houses together!  Hopefully they made it home all in one piece!

These are the Christmas Tree Ornaments we just finished up!  They will be coming home Wednesday in their folders!

 Since today is "Dress Like a Candy Cane" day we used red and white to make AB patterened candy canes!  They turned out so cute! 

Holidays

So far this week we have talked about Christmas and Hanukkah.  Tomorrow we will start to learn about Kwanzaa.  Yesterday we learned what a Menorah is and how many candles they have.  We read the book, "Mrs. Greenberg's Messy Hanukkah" and found out how to make Latkes (Potatoe Pancakes).

 

Then today we read "Who'll Pull Santa's Sleigh" about when all the Reindeer got sick and Santa had to figure out who would pull his sleigh. 

 In the book Santa's Elves got very upset when they heard the Reindeer were all sick so we made Elf Applications to work with Santa. 

Our IB Planner for the next few weeks is on Maps.  So we mapped the North Pole after we checked out what everything looks like up there on www.northpole.com.  If you get a chance, check it out!  It's a really neat website with a lot of educational Christmas things.

 

 

 

    Our Maps turned out great!  We included Santa's House, The Reindeer Barn, Elf School, Elf Village, The Weather Station, and last but not least The Workshop!  Hope everyone is having a great week! 

Hooray!

Our class won the PTA Boxtop competition so they gave us an ice cream and cupcake party!  Thank you so much for all you do for our class and school!
