This week, after all the assessing we had to do last week, Mrs. Reece and I co-planned our groups around prepping for the holidays. We started the week off by making stained glass (wax paper and tissue paper) ornaments. These are adorably hanging from our ceiling, window, and doors to our classroom and sensory. Then we wrote letters to Santa! We followed with making wants/needs stockings with Mrs. Szalay assisting with our lesson. We talked about the difference between wants and needs (with needs being items we have to have to survive). They were painted with a shaving cream and glue mixture. Super fun to make. The kids also wrote some thank you cards and letters for our Chromebooks and for our new fence that lines the playground. Mrs. Wolff and I have been trying to obtain some sort of partition or boundary that separates the kids from the parking lot. It took over 8 months, but our persistence paid off and we have a beautiful single row of fencing all down the sidewalk. Mrs. Brower and our special education director, Mrs. Thompson, have been thanked by us and now by the kids. They were the most instrumental in helping us obtain something we felt was a necessity. And to wrap up the week, today we worked on a special holiday gift for you, which is in the process of drying. More work on that Monday. Both grade levels have been doing gingerbread activities/crafts with the kindy kids learning the sight word CAN! As in the poem we read with the book, Run, run, as fast as you CAN. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man! In math, Kindy kids started unit 3.
Have a great weekend and rest up for festivities next week! Gen ed teachers should be updating you with party or activity schedules, which we will help support!
