Grinch Day

Today was Grinch Day.  We watched part of the movie "The Grinch who Stole Christmas" with Mrs. Saunderson's class.  We will watch the rest tomorrow. 
We made our elves out of 3D shapes. We made a video about our elves telling how the shapes, edges and corners our elf  had.  We played Candy cane tag in PE. 

Colourful lights.

Today we started making cards for people that help in the school.  We wrote thank you for what they do to help the school.
We practiced mixing colours with chalk pastels to make ligtbulbs.  We know blue and yellow makes green, blue and red makes purple and that yellow and red make orange.

What can you make with shapes?

Today we made antlers because in the bag there was two books about reindeer.  In math we did some Mathletics jobs about shapes and we made a snowflake out of  shapes.  We also made a Christmas picture with blocks and we sorted shapes.  We made a video about our snowflake telling Ms. Mahan about all the things we know about those shapes.
We finished our Magic Treehouse video about recycling and we played volleyball in PE.

Can You Crack the Nut?

Today we there were 10 Christmas bags on our wall because there are 10 days until the Christmas holidays.  We opened the first Christmas bags today and there was a book and some activities in it. 
Today was the book the nutcracker and there was even some real nuts in the shell in the bag.  One was an activity about writing the number that the nutcracker was covering. Another was drawing a nutcracker with shapes .  At the end of the day we got to try to be a nutcracker and open a nut in a shell and it was really hard.  Some us us brought it home to try with our families.  The one rule was we were not allowed to use our teeth! 

Rural Art

We made a piece of art that is a setting sun over a rural field today.  We also did  some writing about what we would hear, see, smell and feel in an urban or a rural place.  We also watched a video about Urban and Rural to give us ideas.
We are learning about Volleyball in PE and practiced hitting it with our arms and our fingers to a partner,
We got all of our work from November back today.  We picked our favourite for our picture frame and are bringing the rest of it home with a note for our parents. 

Urban or Rural?

Today we watched a video about urban and rural.  Urban means a city and it has apartment buildings and lots of noise.  Rural is farms to there is lots of space and they grow food.  Today we also started an an project of a sun going down on a farm.  We covered our pencil lines with white glue.
We finished our gumball art by counting how many gumballs were in our gumball machine that we made with a plate and bingo dabbers.  We also finished our colour posters by writing 5 words that matched the pictures on our posters .  We practiced sounding out words and are getting very good at sounding out all kinds of words.
We are also getting very good at our song for the Christmas concert and today we sang it for Ms. Mahan.
