Shape Snowflakes

Today e made a snowflake out of shapes and then we counted how many shapes had 3, 4 or 5 sides.  In Science we wrote about the senses we used to make our acrobat and then we got to play with them for a while.  We could balance everywhere even on our nose and feet! We watched a little bit of a video about Christmas in the past and we saw that they made their own Christmas tree with sticks.  They did not have very much money to buy stuff from expensive store.

Today we are taking home our bubble gum writing.  It takes up lots of room in our backpack so some of us had to pop the balloon. We did gym and in gym we played ornament tag and if you got tagged you had to sit down and sing a Christmas carol and you got free when someone sang the Christmas carol with you for 10 counts.

We looked at the calendar today and we know we have lots of exciting things happening next week and then we have no school for 2 weeks!

Christmas in the Past Toys and Ornaments

Today we made acrobats with toothpicks skewers, corks and play-doh.  They balanced on our finger just like magic. We also made an ornament with cloves and an orange slice.  We stuck the cloves in the orange to make a design.  We made these decorations and toys because in the past they used to make your decorations and gifts because they did not have as much money to spend buying them.

Christmas Concert

Today in morning meeting we shared how we "Sharpend the Saw" on the weekend.  Lots of us did Christmas stuff and one person even went on the polar express to see Santa.  We got new books in our book boxes and we made a sight word paper chain.  We started making an acrobat because this is a toy that someone might have got in the past.  We made it by writing our name and colouring a cork. We will finish it tomorrow.
We went to the church to practice our songs because our Christmas concert is tonight.  We stood on the risers and practiced in front of the whole school. The Christmas concert starts at 5:30 but we need to come to school around 5:15 and we need to stay for both concerts.
See you tonight!
