Christmas Spirit

I'm sure you have all heard about Alvin our Elf by now.  He is watching our every move at school and reports back to Santa at night when we are at home.  The first things the kids do when they get to school is to look and see where Alvin is :)  We have been keeping a journal and making illustrations about his adventures.

Along with Alvin's appearance this week, we traveled to Mexico to see how they celebrate Christmas which led to us making a piñata.  We will be "breaking" it at our christmas party on Friday.

In math we sorted and grouped by tens christmas M & M's.

Here we are making our piñata.

Grandparents Day

We had a wonderful grandparents day on Wednesday.  The kids played Bingo, played some math games, showed them some class work and read them a book before heading down to the gym for a yummy meal.  Thanks to all the grandparents who came and to those who helped out and made some kindergartener's feel pretty special :)
