Christmas Party

In our classroom it's all about the relationships we build with each other. In my opinion it should be that way in every classroom no matter what age or grade. We build these relationships all year long but it's days like party days when we get to celebrate those relationships. I LOVE snapping pics of my kiddos, who were not long ago strangers, now making so many memories together. If only the world were more like a Kindergarten classroom!! 

Candy Cane Hunt

We make learning fun in Kindergarten! My little friends came into the classroom this morning and found candy canes everywhere. Who knew that candy canes would throw 30 5 year olds into a fit of pure craziness first thing in the morning?! I'd call that a rookie mistake BUT I'm not a rookie sooooo....

Anyway, each candy cane had a number taped onto it. When it was time for us to go on our candy cane hunt each student had to find one candy cane and then find the large number card that matched the number on their candy cane. Then they had to find their place within the other numbers ordered 0-30. They did a super job and has so much fun doing it. Of course, they each got to eat their candy canes when our activity was done. 

Today I can order numbers 0-30! We rocked it out today!!  

Santa! Santa! Santa!

We got a surprise visit from Santa himself today! We think maybe our elf friend Chippy sent him. Either way, we were so super excited that he was actually here. He received many hugs and high fives! We wrote him letters today too and those will be mailed to the North Pole. We are hoping to hear back from him before Christmas.

Chipee

Santa has sent an Elf to our classroom again this year. She is beautiful and kind and REALLY loves Kindergarten!!! She always finds the perfect place to sit and watch over our friends each day and we LOVE to find her every morning! Here is where our lovely little Elf friend has stationed herself today!
