K2 Holiday Celebrations!

Thursday, December 17 was a super fun day!  We started the morning with our class calendar exchange!

We passed the calendars ‘round and ‘round until the music stopped.

Finally it was time to open our presents!

Everyone got a great calendar to use in 2010!

Then, the kids opened the present from me!  Lillie read the letter from me to the class!  They all got the book “Mooseltoe!”  It is such a funny book!  I hope everyone loves it! 

After lunch, it was time for our Holiday program and party!

 

Annie’s brother, Elliot, and sister, Emma, joined us for the program.  They did such a great job with K2!

 

During the party, the kids decorated a Christmas Tree,

made Reindeer Food,

decorated holiday cookies,

and made Reindeer sandwiches!

  

I think everyone had a wonderful time!

A big THANK YOU to all the moms and dads who helped make this a fabulous party!!

Puppy of The Week – Jason!

 

Jason was the Puppy of The Week the week right before Christmas!  He did a great job, even though it was such a crazy week!

 

Jason told us all about each of his pictures.  He and Claire were excited to share that they played on the same soccer team!

All the kids watched quietly as Jason told us about each of his photos.

Thanks for doing a great job for us this week, Jason!!

Gingerbread Man Math

In keeping with the holiday spirit, we brought the Gingerbread Man into our math assignment this week!

 

First, we all made predictions of how many marshmallows it would take to cover the perimeter of the Gingerbread Man. 

 

Then, we laid out the marshmallows and counted them.

Next, we did the same thing with chocolate chips!

 

Finally, we got to eat the Gingerbread Men, marshmallows and the chocolate chips!

We had a wonderful afternoon learning about guessing and checking, making predictions and the perimeter of different things.

Who ever said math isn’t fun!?!?

Thank you to Evan, his mom, Maddie and her mom for making the Gingerbread Man cookies for us!  They were delicious!

Puppy of The Week - Samantha

Last week, Samantha was our puppy of the week!  She was so proud all week!

 

Samantha told me she has been waiting a long tome to be our wagon helper and our line leader!

She told us about all of her pictures!  She said she is a big Dallas Cowboys fan and loves going to the football games!

SNOW DAY!

I cannot believe it snowed all day, while we were at school!

Our morning started out normally, but at 9:00, during circle time, I looked out the window, saw the snow flurries and stopped what we were doing.  The kids quickly got their jackets on and we ran outside to play in the snow!

I wish the snow actually appeared in these pictures!  It it was really coming down hard!

Joey’s hair holds the proof that it was really snowing!

We played outside with all of Kindergarten, First and Second Grade!  Everyone was so thrilled to see snow in The Woodlands!

The Kindergarten teachers huddled together for a quick picture!

 

It got pretty cold after about 20 minutes!  I am so glad my kids wanted to bundle up together!  We helped keep each other warm!

We successfully caught a bunch of snowflakes!  Again, I cannot believe you can’t see the millions of flakes  in this picture!

WOW!  What a fun day!  I know we will never forget it!
