It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Kindergarten! 

We built 2 dimensional shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks. 

Students worked hard at workstations around the room.

We made different shapes using straw segments.  Students realized it was difficult to create a circle and oval because they both have 0 sides.

Students made shape Christmas trees.  They learned that they could glue on their shape ornaments in any position and they would still remain the same shape. 

We had a special delivery from the North Pole!  We welcomed one of Santa's little elves to our classroom.  Students voted on a name for him.  They named him Jingle.

Students dressed up in Christmas attire to make ornaments for our class tree.

Mrs. Thomas' Kinder-calves turned into Kinder-elves this week! 

Students enjoyed indoor recess on the rainy days. 

Jingle the elf came back on Friday morning from reporting to Santa the night before.  We found him taking a ride on the Christmas goose and coloring in his elf coloring book.

Students trimmed the tree with ornaments they made.

We've been working really hard on reading and writing in reading groups this week!  Students read a book about Rudolph and the things that he can do. 

 Students made 2-dimensional shapes using pieces of yarn.  They measured the yarn to fit each side of their shape.
