10 School Days 'Til Winter Break

Can you believe we are almost to winter break? Wow! Where has the time gone? We are busy preparing for our Winter Performance on December 16th at 1:30pm and the kids are so excited to share with you what we have been working on! Here are a few fun topics that we have been focusing on in class:

Winter Friends

This week we did a directed drawing of snowmen, which we are calling our Winter Friends. Then students traced over their pictures with black sharpies so that they could water color them. Now we are working on writing about our Winter Friends. Students got to pick out a snowman worthy name, some are too funny!! and they are writing about why their Winter Friend is kind. We are partnering this activity with our Kindness unit that we are doing during this holiday season. I will post photos once we have the final products this week. Here are a few photos of the initial drawing/outlining:



Nutrition

Every month your students have the opportunity to have our fabulous nutrition teacher come to show students how to make healthy meals, learn about the different food groups and how to keep their bodies happy and healthy. This week students worked more on food groups and played games where they had to decide which foods we eat go in which food groups. Then students got to plan out a healthy meal with something from every food group. This week students will have a book and an activity coming home that relates to the lesson we had last week! Here are some photos of the kids deciding which food group their food group goes in:



We have two amazing assemblies this week, which I will try to take photos of, and we are practicing more for our Winter Performance! Stay warm this week and let the countdown to break begin!
