Kinderland: December has arrived

Well we are in December!
DRESS WARM JUST LIKE THE CUTIE IN OUR BACKGROUND PICTURE!!

So much going on over the next few weeks. Going to try to keep this as short as possible ha! Hopefully you enjoy the little update.

First of all thank you for joining in and supporting the leafs love lol minus our one little rebel-but she did show Kadri some sweet hugs later so maybe a little conversion?

PS Kadri liked our picture!!

Our students really loved trying to recreate animal pictures and later tried to practice their writing skills on some of their interpretations to explain which photo they recreated.

We spoke about Advent and what it means with our students and we also have been slowly introducing the nativity scene. So far we learned that Mother Mary was told by an angel that she would have a baby. She wasn't sure how Joseph would feel about that but he was accepting and together they ventured to Bethlehem. An inn keeper allowed them to stay in their stable after many people said there was no room at their inns.

Below are some of our predictions before we spoke of what the little house is and our current stable. Thank you to a family in our class that provided us with this kid friendly cute stable a few months back! We love it!

We made advent wreaths too!

Last week you saw one of our students showed interest in the Garden of Eden story and this sparked interest in the story of creation in the first testament. Below is an example of a sequencing activity we did in order to learn about placing parts of a story in the correct order. It also helped us to learn our numbers 1-7 and with printing.

Another way that writing was incorporated this week was through Santa letters. Rosie our elf asked us to write them and our reading buddies did an amazing job guiding us in our writing.
