This Week in Kindergarten!

On Monday, the boys and girls wore something white to school.

They also made these very special snowmen.

The top snowball was for the head and the other snowballs were for each letter in your child's name.  Some snowmen were very tall and others very short.

On Tuesday, we wore something green to school.

This little girl even had a special green Christmas tree made with elastics in her hair.

The children decorated green Christmas trees (les arbres de Noël verts).

The afternoon class wearing green.

The boys and girls were able to decorate their trees with buttons, feathers, stickers and jewels.

On Wednesday, we all wore red to school.

The children made red Santas (les pères Noël rouges).

We spent lots of time creating special crafts this week.  We also did some Christmas themed activities on the SMARTboard.

Putting the pictures in sequential order to show us the steps needed to make cookies.

We also played Tic-tac-toe.  The boys and girls are getting much better at using strategies to block their friends in order to win.

The students decorated reindeer antlers at the start of the week. They were ready to be made into crowns on Friday morning. The children also had a variety of games and activities to choose from on this special last day of school before the winter break. There were Christmas puzzles on some of the tables.
