Spectacular S

We had a super time learning about S last week! We made stockings, built santa and snowmen, learned how to spell Santa, made snow flakes and much more!
We set up a gift wrapping center. The students loved it but they went through a whole roll of tape in about 15 minutes. Next time I might have pre cut strips ready for them :)

Felt board Santa and Snowman! 

 We had a little Christmas tree decorating

 Tada! Our letter S Snowmen! I think they turned out great!

 The students cut out the beards themselves and glued on the cotton balls!

We used Strips to make Christmas Trees 

Misc. Thanksgiving

Here are some photos of what we were up to the two days of school before thanksgiving break. We had a lot of fun prepping for the Holidays.

 My favorite project for the week was our thankful turkeys. I loved hearing the kids responses when I asked what they are thankful for
