It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas

Only one more week until Winter Break.  We have been busy with reindeer, candy canes, gingerbread, big Santas and lots more preparing for the holidays.  We started the month off by reading and learning about reindeer.  The children made factual books with reindeer faces for the covers and also made deer to decorate our hallway.  We did a guided drawing of a reindeer and used that to decorate the bags that our snowman ornaments will go home in.

Here are some of the big Santas that we have started making.
Our class is participating in a holiday card exchange with other classes from across our country and Canada.  As cards arrive, we post them on our bulletin board.  Here is what our board looks like so far.  We are expecting about 15 more cards.
Next week we will be making our gingerbread houses and TLC elves and having a pajama day. 

Merry Christmas
