Our class is in the Christmas spirit! This is officially my FAVORITE time of the year...spending this season with 18 kids everyday is the best! Our elf Oochie made a couple messes this week. 1. Dumped all the building blocks out. 2. Took a selfie (or an ELFie:)) and set it as our desktop background. 3. Got himself taped up in the door while the kids were at music! Yikes!
We also got rid of our turkey door and moved onto our snowman door! I love switching our theme with the season! Goodbye fall...hello winter! :)
While in the midst of all our fun we do get a lot done as well! I wanted to share with you what we did in math last Friday. The kids have been very focused on learning addition with regrouping and subtraction with regrouping. Friday we learned 2 ways to solve the same problem! I never knew this way, but I was excited to teach it because it was really easy! I don't expect them to do it the "new" way but all kids learn differently, so I like to give the option and show them we can solve the same thing different ways!
Now onto the Grinch...my all time FAVORITE Christmas story (my books is falling apart :( wahhh) I read the story to the kids Friday and then after some reading comprehension work we got to do this fun directed drawing! I am a big fan of directed drawings and instead of me being the "instructor" this time we watched one of my favorite youtube channels the "Art for Kids Hub". It is an artistic dad who does directed drawings with his kids and we get to watch them side by side draw the same thing! Any who.....they did the Grinch and I thought it was the perfect time to introduce the students to this fun art channel. I must say these turned out AWESOME when they were finished.
I also gave them this printable quote that is from our story we read together...one of my favorites around Christmas time! Don't forget what is important this holiday season! 💚
