Frosty, Friday Funday

There was a buzz in the air today with Santa Claus days being today and tomorrow in Watson, SK! It was also a very chilly day outside, so we had indoor recess all day.

I decided to switch up math class and learn a little bit about the triangle shape to incorporate some holiday art. Each student decorated their own triangle, which we fit together to make our classroom tree:

 
We also practiced our Christmas concert song several times today. Only 3 more full K days before the concert! They're starting to memorize the words and sing the song while they are working at their tables, so that's promising!
 
We also had the pleasure of the Grade One teacher coming in today with puzzles for us to practice our PWIM words. The one 'center' had the students putting together puzzle pieces to build a word from our PWIM board. The second 'center' had students choose a word and then search for clothes pins with each letter so that they could build the word that way. In each scenario, of the students weren't sure what word they had, they would go to the PWIM board to find it.
 
 
Searching for letters...


We also tried our first Colour by Sight Word sheet and Grade One teacher read Mrs. Claus Goes on Vacation to the class.
 
Today, we also read Chapter Two of My Father's Dragon. In Science, we had an introductory lesson about the four seasons to lead into some activities for next week. Finally, in Phys.Ed. we've been exploring movements, sending, and receiving with hula hoops! Lots of fun :)
 
Until next week~ take care, stay warm!
