Christmas Memories Made in the Classroom!

Our last week in the classroom was very busy! We finished our presents for our parents, made a few ornaments for our tree, and performed our Christmas program for our parents.  We ended the week with our Polar Express Day! It was a fun and magical time in our class!

The children went home with lots of beautiful ornaments for the tree! We made sprinkled pine cone ornaments, applesauce ornaments, and Popsicle Christmas tree ornaments.

For the parents we made these adorable snowmen out of plant pots turned upside down and painted!

Singing Away in a Manger!



We all wear our pjs and read the book
and watch the movie
while enjoying hot coco!

Polar Express Day is always a great way
to end our Christmas unit in the classroom!

It's Beginning to Look at Lot Like Christmas...

It is sweet in our classroom this week! We have made all types of Christmas candy in our classroom! From Peppermints to Gum Drops it has been fun to eat and create with the students!

Our Sight word Christmas Tree has been great for the students! This week they are making Christmas Cards for local veterans and their families!

 

The North pole is a great addition to Dramatic Play! The students are busy cooking up some delicious treats!



This week we had two of our moms help us make gingerbread houses for each of our students!

We have a mitten tree in class that is decorated with donations from our students to give to children who are less fortunate...teaching the true meaning of giving!

Every day in December is Magical for our students!

Festival of Trees

Every year our class enters the 'Festival of Trees' at the Philbrook Museum in Tulsa.  This year instead of doing a gingerbread house we decided to create our first tree!  We decided to use the childrens hands and cut them out of salt dough; and then paint them green to create our tree.  We then glittered the alaphabet and added a litttle snow.  The title of our tree was "He has the whole world in his hands." At the top of our tree are the hands holding the earth!

The best part about entering the exhibit is taking a field trip to see our entry! After touring the museum we take the children to see Santa at Utica Square and give Santa our letters we have written him in class.  This is always a fun and festive field trip!
