Christmas Crafts

This afternoon we worked together with the other grade one classes to make some Christmas crafts.  I meant to take more pictures to show everyone working, but we got a little busy!  (Imagine forty-nine six and seven year olds all in one space talking, gluing and cutting at the same time!!)  It was a lot of fun!
Some other things we've been working on this week:

• Math - comparing groups of objects using words like: more, less, fewer, same, equal.
• Reading - reading and writing CVC (consonant, vowel, consonant) words with short vowel sounds.  We practice sorting the words into word families, spell the words, match picture and word cards.
• Social Studies - our current unit is Traditions and Celebrations.  Today we did a survey and 17 out of 19 students' favorite celebration is Christmas!
• Music - singing Christmas carols!  "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" is a favourite.

Have a great weekend!
