Christmas and Polar Express

This was a fun week for the kiddos! We were able to do so many neat and fun things that tied into our learning. Many ornaments were made...I sure hope they add some fun to your tree at home! We also continued to focus on the letter R and review the numbers 0-5.

Making our special gift to our wonderful parents! These aren't just 5 little snowmen.

My favorite activity of the week. The kiddos had to arrange the letters in their name to spell their name correctly.

Many kiddos started putting the letters in order from right to left. Very common...daily practice will help that!

I stapled the bag on so they could practice with you at home. This is a simple yet very important skill for them!!

Independent station...making snowflake ornaments! Lots of glitter glue got used...

It may not seem like an important activity but squeezing the glue and making the design you want is an awesome fine motor task.

Our letter to Santa

There thoughts were sweet and so original.

P.J. day for Polar Express!

I read the story Polar Express...a classic Christmas story.

Then I passed out train tickets for all those who BELIEVE!

And we have believers!

Not as fancy as the real Polar Express conductor...but I did hole punch their tickets.

We had "hot chocolate" and cookies on our magical trip.

This face says it all!!

"The bell still rings for all those who truly believe"

We had a special visitor...

This made their morning...

Morning Story time.

Thumbprint reindeer ...

Indpendent letter "R" book

If I were Santa's elf at the North Pole...I would...

Animal and Person sort. Great thinking activity and cutting!

Our scissor grip is getting much better!  Cutting playdough or yarn is a great activity to do at home.
