It's Christmas Time!!

We strung lights and garland around our Christmas tree to get it ready for our Jesse Tree ornaments!

Each ornament has a symbol of a person or event that led to the birth of Jesus.  

We are excited to begin our Advent journey!

Thanksgiving Fun

We learned about the First Thanksgiving with pilgrims and Native Americans! 

After sequencing the story, we acted out what happened on the First Thanksgiving.

 Then, we turned heavy cream into butter by shaking it really hard, until it finally 

got thick enough to spread onto our cornbread!  Yum!

Saint Presentations

We researched the lives of saints and learned how they followed Jesus!

Then, we shared our saint with the class!

We impressed Miss Grey today with our awesome behavior!

We got caught sitting and listening to Miss Mary so nicely!

By the end of the day, we earned all of the pieces to make Mrs. Potato Head complete!

We will celebrate with 30 minutes of outdoor free time at the end of the day on Monday!

Saint Research Poster

We chose a saint and researched the ways that they followed Jesus!

We pray that we can live more like the saints by following Jesus, too!

We Are Bucket Fillers!

We read the story "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?" and learned ways to fill others' buckets. 

We all carry an invisible bucket that holds our good feelings about ourselves.

We can't fill our own buckets, but filling others' buckets makes us feel good and fills our own bucket!

We can fill others' buckets by writing kind notes and slipping them inside!

We can't wait to check our buckets and read our notes on Friday!

When Miss Grey catches us filling others' buckets by being kind and making good choices,

we get a sticker!  Once we fill our jar, we get to choose a reward!

We are bucket FILLERS, not dippers!

Wonderful Words

We are practicing our new spelling words in many different ways.  

It's fun to "text" our spelling words on our iPhones!

We play word search games to look for words around the room!

We play games on the computers to practice our spelling and vocabulary words!

Halloween Fun

Oops!  Sorry for the late post, but I still wanted to share some of our fun Halloween activities!  We learned about bats and made awesome "fact" bat mobiles to show what we learned!

We also read "Pumpkin Jack" and learned about the life cycle of a pumpkin.
