There was a lot of snow on our playground! We had fun playing at recess. We made snow forts and snowmen. We learned about doubles facts during math today. Today during library we read a book about a baby gingerbread and his band. We got to color a picture of a gingerbread man. Today we made Santa Claus with paint, paper plates, and paint brushes. Tomorrow we will finish them by adding Santa's beard with cotton balls. There is only 12 more days until Christmas! We have been in school 70 days already! As a class we figured out that we only hae 30 more days until the hundredth day! We had a great day today! We did a winter scholastic news.

Take a look at our Santa faces. This was the first step!

We had a great day together!! We had P.E. today and if we followed directions we got to play what time is it Mr./Mrs. Fox? We worked on dribbling basketballs while playing the fox game! During writer's workshop we worked on letters to someone in the class. We picked a name, wrote them a kind letter, then read it to them. We had some very nice things to say about each other! We had a long choice time today! We played all kinds of games including play dough. There is snow on our playground! We have enjoyed making HUGE snowballs and snow forts and snow men! We played ice dragons.

We were very excited that it was snowing today! We go to play in the snow at recess! We were excited that we got to go off the blacktop even if we didn't have snow pants! Let's all try to remember our snow pants from now on! A lot of people went sledding down the hill on their bellies! Today during music we got to use the orff instruments. Tomorrow is the holiday concert. It starts at 6:00 pm and goes until 7:00 pm.

Today we had our writing celebration! We were celebrating finishing our first writing unit: Small Moment Stories. Three teachers came to see our writing! Thanks for coming! We had chocolate chip cookies and apple juice! Yum yum! We thought the treats were really tasty! Here are some photos of us enjoying each other's writing and the cookies!
