Reading Santa letters and books our Reading Buddies made for us

Our Special Christmas Show

Our special visitor

Santa took time out of his busy schedule to visit us today. The students were very excited.

Soybeans

Trying to figure out how we are going to get them to go down the funnel

Apartment building for Cars

Tyral and Rylee were busy constructing an apartment building for cars. The right side is the girl side and the left side is the boy side. The problem others noted is that the cars are all on top of one another, so the plan is to figure out how to make floors for all the cars. 

Letter from Santa

We mailed letters to Santa and today we received a reply. Santa is so busy that he couldn't respond to all of us individually so he sent us a big letter. 

Addition while at play

Tyral and Cortez realized that they each had six cars and when they put them altogether, they had twelve cars. Tyral then said the equation was 6+6=12. 

The City by Miranda and Charity

The city we made is called oh Canada. There are houses, apartments and banks in our city. There used to be a park but it broke down. One hundred thousand people live in the city. The fire station is close to our house.

Masterpieces

A painting with Christmas Colours. It is like the Elf poem that we read yesterday.

The Igloo

The igloo has become a popular spot to hangout in. Even though it was glued together, there have been some repairs that needed to be made. The students have been having some great conversations about how a real igloo made of snow would stay together so that people could live in it. Once we get enough snow, we will attempt to build an igloo.

Shapes

We have been exploring shapes. Noah found this at home last night and brought it in to show. I found this hexagon. Isaac then said " It looks just like a stop sign". Great connections to the real world.
