Holidays Around the World

As you may have heard from your student, last week we learned about all different holidays celebrated around the world! Our class traveled to the United States, Germany, Holland, Africa, and Israel. We learned all about traveling, what a passport was, and using suitcases! The kids got to make their own suitcase and create their own passport, when they traveled to each country, they received a stamp when they entered the country, just like a real passport!

Here's some pictures of what the children made in other countries. They got to teach me all about it since I didn't get to travel to different countries!

Meet A Kindergartener: Ethan

Ethan was our Owl of the Week last week! Ms. Schlegel had a CRAZY week and forgot to take a picture of all of the fun things that Ethan brought to school before I packed it up for him to take home! But he brought us three books that our class LOVED! He also brought lots of pictures of him, his brother, and his family including ones of him dressed as a superhero!

One word to describe Ethan is funny. He wants a Nerf Bow and Arrow, dislikes carrots, and can't wait to go to Disney World. Ethan likes playing trains with Daddy, riding the 4 wheeler, and going to his grandparents house.

Thanks for being the Owl of the Week, Ethan!

Meet A Kindergartner: Markayus

Markayus was our Owl of the Week! Markayus brought a fun camera, a giraffe, and a car. Markayus really wants to go to Disneyland. He loves the Wii, French fries, and playing school. If he could have one wish it would be to fly!

Thanks for being the Owl of the Week, Markayus!

Just an update..

Hi there!

We have a couple busy weeks coming up in Kindergarten and lots and lots of projects, crafts, and snacks we are doing!

Once again, if you would be willing to help out with donating anything to our classroom, shoot me an email and I can let you know what kinds of things we may be needing now as well as after we come back from break. As you can imagine with 18 kindergarteners, we are running low on many supplies! Some of these things are items for our classroom, and some are things we will be needing for some of the special things we are going to be doing!

Be watching for a note coming home about a special thing on December 20th, as well as some important information about the next few weeks!

I hope you are all having a great weekend and staying warm in this snow!

Elfie's Adventures

Elfie had some crazy adventures in our room last night! We found him this morning hanging from our doorway on a swing that he made! 

Yesterday, we started our pattern book of where Elfie might go while visiting the United States. We will continue these pattern books for different countries around the world!

We have been working on lots of different adjectives, so today we got to draw and color a picture of Elfie and explain him using different adjectives. Some of our favorites were cute, hungry, silly, sneaky, and awesome!

We're having so much fun with Elfie!

We have a visitor in our room!

As some of your kids might have told you, we have someone visiting our room for the month of December!

Meet Elfie!

Elfie showed up on Tuesday morning when the kids got here and we learned about him, read his book, and the poem he left us!

We got to vote on what his name was going to be and we are so excited to see the adventures he's going to have in our classroom! Stay tuned to see some of the places Elfie has explored!
