Happy Holidays and TGIF!

Chart to go with our Mouse Count activity; we used mice in jars at our seats (fake, of course!)

Our classroom is covered in glitter and bursting with holiday spirit.  We've been working on holiday cards, surprise holiday gifts and a number of art projects to decorate our classroom!  Even our Share time has taken on a holiday twist.  We have had a lot of fun with Math this week, using the story Mouse Count to talk about decomposing numbers.  There are a lot of ways to make 10: 1+9, 5+5, 7+3... the possibilities are [almost] endless!

Great listeners today!
Thanks to Max's dad for visiting and reading an awesome story about wolves, and inspiring some great informational writing this morning!

We have a busy week coming up: a visit to the computer lab, 3rd grade reading buddies and an art activity, a read aloud "gift" from the 4th grade, and a classroom celebration on Wednesday!  We will be decorating gingerbread cookies, so there is no need for parents to send in anything except their child and some holiday cheer!
Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas!

Today's "Share" included a Christmas Carol book and performance!
