Well I just
wanted to take a minute and check in with everyone. I know most of you are feeling like I am
which is “when is the holiday break again”.
My classroom kids overall are doing well but you can definitely tell
that they have the “HOLIDAY SPIRIT” in them.
I am counting down these last five days telling myself each morning “I
think I can, I think I can.”
Onto another
topic what I stopped by to share. Last
week we had a three day week due to snow and we didn’t get as much done as I
had hoped but one project definitely stood out and I wanted to share it quickly
with you.
I call it the
Shape Christmas Tree. In our math series
we were working on attributes of different shapes. So to incorporate Christmas and shapes
together we made trees. We began with
different size squares. We cut the
squares on a diagonal to make triangles and then we assembled the triangles to
make a Christmas tree. We added a
rectangle tree trunk and ta-da. The tree
part of the project took one day. I then
pulled out a Christmas tree glyph that I found on Shari Sloane’s website and we
decorated the trees with circle shapes.
The kids did a wonderful job, we got the
skills covered and we had fun with the project. The pictures are below, I hope you enjoy them
as much as we did making them.
Write more soon,
Leslie
