Week in reviewWe’ve been completing activities with fun holiday themes! We started by reading Mr. Willowby’s Christmas Tree. With this book we continued to practice sequencing by putting the events in order to form a tree. We also wrote about “how to decorate a Christmas Tree” and made and decorated our own tree to go along with the story, Night Christmas. We learned facts about real reindeer and also read Olive the Other Reindeer, discussing beginning, middle and end, and then created our own reindeer. We also got some mail from the North Pole! Santa is in need of workers! We filled out “elf applications” and he hired us! Finally, we have been very busy making a secret project for somebody very special. Wishing all of you a Merry Holiday filled with Peace, Love, Hope and Joy!
