Holidays

The holidays are a wonderful time of year in TK. There is so much that we do with the arts, social science, and even math. Plus we get to make tons of keep sakes for the families. 

These are need and want stockings. Children believe they need everything, so it is a lesson they all need to be exposed too. I gave the students magazines and had them put needed items on one side and wanted items on the other. 

The main book for this month was "The Gingerbread Man". We made these crayon resist gingerbread men to go along with the story. They turned out so cute. 

This was my favorite project, our elf applications. They students were so cute answering the questions. 

As part of our social science unit, we got a chance to learn about the different holidays that are celebrated in our classroom. It was really wonderful for the students to tell the traditions of their family as well as learn new traditions. 

And of course the students made ordiamets for their families. They did everything all by themselves, including wrapping the presents.
