Week of December 11th



Holiday Decorations
This week students worked at making holiday decorations for the school and classroom. Look how fast they cut, made patterns, and stapled our Christmas and Hanukkah garland together!



















Loose Parts Play

Students explored with a variety of seasonal and holiday Loose Parts Play this week. They enjoyed sorting, making patterns and creating winter scenes.








Candy Cane Sensory Bin

This week we transformed the water table into a Candy Cane Sensory Bin. We added white, red and green items to coloured pasta and rice. Thank you Pinterest for giving me this great idea! :)

See my puppy rip the rag,
When he pulls so hard.






Read Alouds
Students listened to two social stories. In A Bad Case of Tattle Tongue, Josh the Tattler doesn't have any friends because he is always telling on them. One night his tongue turns yellow with purple spots because of all the tattling he is doing. After reading this book we discussed the difference between necessary and unnecessary tattling. Below are 4 of the main "Tattling Rules". 





In Lacey Walker Nonstop Talker, Lacey Walker loves to talk. She talks all day, and sometimes all night. But when she loses her voice, Lacey learns the importance of listening to others and taking turns.


Big Building

Take a look at some of the very creative and thoughtful creations students made this week!
