BUSY DECEMBER!

I hope you all had a wonderful break. It went by so fast, but I sure enjoyed spending the time with my family! I have a lot to update you on. We were so busy the month of December that there hasn't been many posts. Also... the students didn't want me to post anything, because they wanted the parent gifts to be a surprise! I hope you all loved the gifts they gave you. They put a lot of hard work into them! In December, Mr. and Mrs. Clause visited our classroom, we worked on subtraction with regrouping, made ornaments, made life sized elves, decorated gingerbread cookies, made a hand print calendar, kept track of our elf Holly, and ended the month with Polar Express Day and our Christmas party. It was so much fun and went by WAY TO FAST!

Listening to the story

Mr. Lund had the story on his iPad so we could see it on the smartboard!


 A letter arrived from Santa. It had this letter and a bell for each of us. They were ice 
cold, we inferred that they were cold due to the temperature in the North Pole.

We had a very busy week. With only 3 1/2 days of school it was very difficult to prepare for our Holiday Program. But...this class amazed me again and pulled it off. They did an outstanding job! The moosical was spectacular. I saw so much talent on that stage and great teamwork. The pictures below will tell the story!
