January
During January we watched a video of Jan Brett reading her book, //The Mitten,// and then completed the Mitten Math & More PowerPoint activities. We'll be sharing our mittens later! We also read the book //Snowmen At Night// and then imagined what a snowman that we built might do at night. We then drew a picture of our snowmen in KidPix. It's harder than you think to make a snowman in Kidpix. Watch for our snowman soon. We also created snowmen and recorded descriptions for the Describe A Snowman activity. Our teacher transcribed the descriptions and posted them and our recordings here for our partner class to read and hear. We are looking forward to recreating our partner class' snowmen soon!

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">December
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">During December, we made Gingerbread Glyphs, made a Gingerbread Card for our families with our faces as the Gingerbread Person's face, made a Christmas Tree Card for our Teacher with our faces as the ornaments on the tree, learned about all of the holidays that are celebrated in December, talked about the holidays that we celebrate and played Gingerbread & Christmas Games.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">We created Gingerbread Glyphs based on the instructions found on the December Activities page and are sharing them below. We would love to share the cards that we made but we don't post pictures of ourselves on wikis so we can't.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">We'd love to know if you can figure out anything about our class from our Glyphs. How many boys are in our class? We'll give you a hint - one of the boys was absent and didn't get to do the glyph. How many girls are in the class. Are any of us 7 years old? How many of us are 6 years old? Are there any of us not 6 or 7? Have we tried gingerbread? Do we like cookies or candy better? Leave us a message on the discussion tab and if your Gingerbread Glyphs are posted online, we'd love to see them too and try to figure out more about your class!

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden;"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Oh, and if you are interested in which December Holidays we celebrate, 100% of us celebrate Christmas and 43% of us have some kind of celebration on New Years Eve. What about you? What December Holidays do you celebrate?
