Snowmen, travel stories, and music!

Today was another frosty day, but we finally had some outdoor recesses. I forgot to take photos of some of the activities that we did today! Some of the highlights of our day included:
*learning all about the number 5, including listening to a story about 5 snowmen and learning the song 5 little ducks
*hula hoop fun in the gym
*practicing Christmas songs for next week's performances, including a K-5 practice
*sharing our favourite travel stories and locating those places on maps
*learning more about the information we can learn from maps and the globe
*shaking out new words from our PWIM picture!
 
We also talked more about the weather in Mexico and how that influences some of the activities that students there do. For example, they can't build snowmen since it doesn't snow in Mexico. We read two wonderful stories, Snowmen at Night and Snowmen All Year. Next, students worked on an art activity. They had to use chalk and black and white squares of paper (plus the orange for a carrot nose!) to create their own depiction of a snowman at night.

 Next week will be jam packed with all things Christmas, including our concert on the 18th! There's definitely a buzz in the air this month~ only 3 more Kindergarten days until holidays begin!
