Hi Y’all! J I hope Winter Break is treating you well! I have
been working on school goodies the last 2 days… I think
it is time for a break from creating. Here is a little recap of our month in
Our Smart Community. It was BUSY and super fun!
We began our world travels in NOVEMBER. We visit 7 countries and it is really more of a history, cultural and
geography unit than Christmas Around the World kind of thing. We used to do that but after traveling to 4 of
the countries together, we had a lot more to share. J
Someday, I shall put it all together into a unit… it is so busy that I just haven’t found the time yet. Perhaps
that will be a summer project.
We teach the 7
Habits…we introduce one habit each month in kindergarten. As an
integrated Art/WRITING project, we made Santa and wrote about how we had been
using one of the first three habits in our lives. It was super cute to see the
ideas! We loved it… and our students did as well.
We had SO MUCH fun on our Polar Express Day. We wore our jammies,
made hot chocolate and s’mores for treats. We had a blast!
Did you have an elf visit your classroom? SO FUN! Winter came
to visit in Mrs. Parrott’s room and Rocket was in mine. The students love finding
them each morning. The Students made their own elves the last week before break… DEFINITELY THE FAVORITE project of the month! J
We hope your December was magical, fun and full of learning! J
We have been working on writing A LOT and using rubrics in kindergarten to assess our
work. I will share a little bit about that next time and add a freebie!
Be
Blessed! J
