We invited the other classes

Gingerbread Man, Christmas and Christmas Dinner!

The children made their own

 individual cheesecake dessert

 for our Christmas Dinner on Friday.

Lots of work happening to get 

ready for our dinner. Hands 

are washed and the peeling of 

the carrots, turnip and potatoes

 has begun.

Tables and chairs are moved

 around for a banquet table.

  We put on the festive 

tablecloth and the children 

decorated, and set the table.  

I think it looks wonderful!!!

The meal has begun. All the potatoes,

 cranberry and gravy was eaten. 

Quite a few children requested

 more potatoes and turkey

 ( it was actually a large chicken).

 Mr. Grady was given a plate,

 Mr. MacDonald joined us for lunch 

and Bailey a grade nine student

 who was helping also joined us

 for lunch. My sister Sandra,

 and a retired kindergarten 

teacher Susan helped.

 It was a busy day. 

 The school had a beautiful

 aroma of our dinner cooking. 

The children really enjoyed 

the dinner. It was a great day!

We acted out the Gingerbread 

Man story.  The children really

 enjoy it when we act out stories

 we have been reading.

Chloe’s birthday was Saturday. 

 Happy 5th Birthday Chloe!

Math activity.. Show me 

the same as I have, 

less than me, and more than me.

We were invited into Ms. Keough’s 

grade 3 class for their publishing party. 

The grade 3 students read their books to us.

The books were amazing! 

 Thank you for the invite grade 3.  

Mrs. Gorveatt’s class had read

 the story The Three Pigs to our

 class and also to her grade 4 class

 our book buddies. We were than

 invited down to grade 4 to have

 a house building time. We would

 be checking to see if the house 

could be blown down. Both classes

 had a fabulous time building the

 houses together.The students

 were just given an assortment 

of crafty materials and could

 build any type of house they wished.

Here is the big bad wolf!!! 

Aka Mrs. Gorveatt’s hair dryer!

Who will huff and puff and try 

 to blow the houses down. 

All of the houses stood strong

 some moved off the foundations

 but they all held up! Lots of cheers!!! 

 Thank you, Mrs. Gorveatt and our book buddies.

Upon coming indoors Chloe 

had some mud on her leg.

 Here Raye is helping to clean it off.  

Good friends are the best!

What an awesome group

 of little elves.  I was so

 proud of them at the 

Christmas Concert!

A few pictures of the 

Christmas practice and concert.

The Gingerbread Man and Rudolf

 arrived in our class.  However, 

when  we practicing our concert 

in the gym.  They disappeared

 and only left a note!

We placed a small gingerbread 

man in a jar of water and 

predicted what we thought might happen.

Landon, celebrated his 5th birthday!

  Happy birthday Landon!

Nolan, also celebrated his 5th birthday! 

 Happy birthday Nolan!

We discussed what Christmas is….

 Together we drew some pictures 

and had fun painting the mural.

The finished mural in the hallway.  

I think the children did a nice job 

of capturing what Christmas means to

 them … Santa, Rudolf, toys, food, 

presents, family,and their sock.

The class had fun decorating the tree. 

 It can be decorated over and over 

again during learning centres.

I put out some Christmas related

 props in dramatic play.  The 

children had so much fun with these items!!!

Some children asked if they 

could use the whiteboards during

 learning centre time. This is 

a favorite activity this year.
