We continued our trip around the world learning about holiday traditions in Greece and Mexico. The students learned that stockings at Christmastime originated in Greece! Everyone made their own stocking and we hung them in the classroom!
 |
| Lia and Cynthia's patterns on stockings! |
We also visited Mexico and worked on a "stamping" craft to make poinsettias!
 |
| Lowell's poinsettia |
The students also practiced writing some of their sight words in letters to Santa or Mom and Dad. First they brainstormed to think of things they wanted and then wrote them in a letter! They will take these back home to you for you to read and then you can send them off!
 |
| Making a list... |
After learning about the letter Ii and its short and long sounds, the students sorted pictures as one of their Daily 4 centers. After practicing identifying these sounds, they spelled them. These pictures all had a magic "e" at the end to make the /i/ long.
One of our Daily 4 centers is always reading! Each group practices reading books that are at their level several times a week.
 |
| Reading groups! |
For math we've been working on combinations to 5 using beans, beads, stockings, etc.
 |
| The students practiced making 5 in different ways with their bracelets! |
 |
| Shake the Beans! The students shook the beans to find combinations to 5 and write additions sentences! |
