Happy December!

Good Cheer Food Drive
The Good Cheer food drive beings today. Please send in any canned or boxed non perishable food for the food drive!   The drive ends on December 18th when volunteers will be around to collect the baskets.

Polar Express Day
Polar Express Day in Kindergarten will be Friday, Dec 18.  Children will be invited to wear their pajamas to school, and we will spend the morning doing literacy and math centers that focus around the book and movie.  Then, in the afternoon we will enjoy hot chocolate and watch the movie! 


Superkids
We have just one more day with Tic, Tac, and Toc (Super Smart today!) and then we will be meeting a new Superkid on Wednesday!  I feel like we are no sooner meeting these kids that we are on to another one!  Time is flying by!


Math
For math yesterday we worked on some special Christmas projects.  The boys and girls had to place green strips in order from longest to shortest to make a Christmas tree.  We also got Santas ready to display.  Each day we will glue a cotton ball to Santa's beard...when the beard is full, Christmas Eve is here! I'm posting pictures of these below! 




Writer's Workshop
This week in Writer's Workshop we are working on writing friendly letters.  We will conclude this unit this week by writing letters to Santa!

The Adventures of Twinkle the Elf!
Our class elf is back!  Twinkle appeared yesterday!  I can't wait to see what fun he brings to our class over the next three weeks!  What a good writing opportunity to for us to write a sentence every day about where we found him!  I just happened to have special journals ready to go for us to record this info....
Day 1...Twinkle appeared on top of the Christmas tree in our classroom window!

Day 2....Twinkle LOVED checking out all of the cool technology in our classroom.  He even stopped to rest on top of our document camera!

Have a great week!
