Happy Holidays!
Happy Holidays Everyone!
As we get closer to the end of this term, students are getting more and more excited about the holiday celebrations. This week we made a connection between boxes and the winter celebrations. In class, we turned boxes into different things to celebrate the end of this term. In the Blocks center, children created a snowman with numbers using boxes, which they knocked down with a ball and had to set in order from 1 to 5. The most exciting center for them this week was the Discovery Center that we turned into a Toy Wrapping Station. Children were encouraged to think about a toy they wanted to create and whom they would give it to. Going through the fun process of designing, creating, revising and wrapping. Children used the paper they painted last week to wrap their toys and used bows and little cards to label the gift boxes. During large group, we all open the gifts together, impressed by some of their creative creations.
We also had fun creating friend’s cards in the Library and putting them in pockets with the children names. Every afternoon, children would check their mailbox in search for their cards to take home.
As the end of the unit celebration, children had lots of fun outdoors using big boxes to create castles, houses, and cars, among other things.
We are looking forward to our Holiday Celebration next week. Children are excited about making and decorating cookies.
A big thank you from Ms. Jasury and myself for all your support this semester, your open communication and your participation in the classroom. It has been a pleasure to teach your children and I know they will continue to shine next semester.
Have a wonderful time together this Holiday break, filled with lots of fun with family and friends! We will be waiting to welcome you back on January Monday 15.
Wishing you well,
Ms. Susy & Ms. Jasury
