Christmas in the Classroom

Timmy, our class Elf came to spy on us for Santa right after Thanksgiving! He was a surprise every morning when the students arrived. We had a Christmas tree, stockings, and reindeer!

The last week was devoted all to a Christmas Theme.

Monday: Reindeer Day
We read Olive the Other Reindeer
We talked about what made Olive so special and why we are all special.
We made our own "The Other Reindeer" and put out on display for the school to see.
We finished by making reindeer food to put out Christmas Eve and watched the movie.

Tuesday: Grinch Day
We read the book, made Grinch Punch, and talked about how Christmas is more than just presents and how to make the Grinch Grin!
