During our last week before Winter Break we did lots of reading and projects about winter. We read: Snowballs, Stranger in the Woods, The Mitten, Sledding, The First Day of Winter, and Winter Solstice. We made some snowpeople of our own, finishing writing and illustrating the 5 Little Snowmen poem, and made a gift to share with our families.
On Monday we participated in the Hour of Code using the Kodable app on some ipads. The kids had lots of fun learning how to give directions to get through the mazes and collect stars!
On Tuesday we had a visit from author/illustrator Amy Huntington. She shared with us some of her work, read us 2 books she is working on, and created a funny illustration with us about Mia and Martha, a snake and a centipede going sock shopping!
On Friday, the Winter Solstice, we celebrated the shortest day and longest night by making bright wishes for the new winter season.
