Initial Art

Here's a look at our latest art activity, "Initial Art!"
Super simple!
1. Make the initials of your students out of painter's tape.
2. Let the students go crazy with the paint.
3. Remove the tape, and VOILA!

New December Centres

School life has been busy. . . report cards and parent teacher conferences have come and gone and now Christmas is just around the corner! 
Flu season has hit us HARD, children have been home with fevers and such sad things, and even yours truly missed a school day as a result of sickness.
That being said, the excitement and anticipation of Christmas is quickly building.
We are working on our lines and songs for the upcoming Christmas chapel, we decorated our classroom Christmas tree, 


and we are deep into our Christmas math and literacy activities.
This week, we are working on a few new math centres. . .

Numbers 1-10 Write the Room

Christmas Roll & Cover Game #1-12

Christmas Pattern Block Mats


I created a new December write-the-room activity to review the last ten jolly phonics letters we are learning this fall,
(Ii, Pp, Nn, Cc, Kk, Ee, Hh, Rr, Mm, & Dd).
Find this December Writing activity {HERE} or {HERE}.
We are also busy with some of the math and literacy items from my Christmas Super Pack,
found at both my TPT Store and TNbk Shop for a mere $9! 
(steal of a deal!)






There you have it!  This month is going much too fast!
We only have 5 more days of JK till Christmas!!! 
Ahhhhh!!!
