Missing You

       This is the way I've been feeling. I was sad because I miss you so much! I can't wait until you come back to school on January 23rd!: ) I have lots of fun things planned for us and know we'll have a wonderful time and learn a lot.

       I'm already feeling much better because I know it's only a few more days (12 to be exact!) until I get to see you! I can't wait to hear about what you did while you were tracked out and to see how much you have grown in a month! Just think, you are half way to becoming a first grader!

      I'm sending you a little surprise in this blog. It's a great big hug and kiss just for you! I can hardly wait until I see you and can get a real hug from you! Enjoy your next 12 days off and I'll see you soon!! I love you all!! Mrs. Parker : )

                         

Class Celebration



Making Magic Reindeer Food

 

Making Gingerbread Ornaments



Having your birthday on
Class Celebration Day.....
Priceless!: )

On Tuesday we had our Class Celebration for the end of our 2nd track of school. We had a wonderful time! Thanks to many parents coming to help us we made magic reindeer food to put outside on Christmas Eve, we made gingerbread ornaments with our pictures on them, we had a special snack of cupcakes, Doritos, and juice box drinks, and we decorated a cookie to take home. Mrs. Parker says that we sure know how to celebrate!!: ) We are tracked out of school for the next 4 weeks. You can check back here in January to see messages Mrs. Parker leaves for us. We'll have more for you to see of our class when we return! Happy Holidays and enjoy your time out of school for now.

Chinese New Year

 Today we began our "Winter Holidays Around the World" unit. We talked about China and the Chinese New Year. This is the Year of the Dragon. We made dragons and had a parade in our class before we left. Look at our cool dragons!

Thanksgiving Rotation

 

We have been working hard to earn class compliments from other teachers, staff, and parents in our school. We earned a special Thanksgiving Rotation for earning 20 class compliments. We got to make "healthy turkeys", do fun activities on the Smartboard, and have a taste test with pumpkin pie, apple pie, and chocolate chip cookies. Then we made a graph of our favorite.........the cookies won!!: ) We loved having parents come and help us and want to give them a big "Thank You!"

 

 

Thanksgiving with Friends

We invited our Pre-K friends to our class for a Thanksgiving activity with turkeys. Some of our 4th grade friends came to help us. We love having them! We had a terrific time and loved our turkeys!: )

Cooperative Math Activity

 Working in Cooperative Groups can be lots of fun and we learn a lot from each other! Math is one of our favorite times to learn together. Mrs. Parker says we do a fantastic job in our groups and she is so proud of us!: )

 

Finally got this video to download to our blog! I wanted you to see what a wonderful job the children do daily SWIMing in the hallway!
