Today was our first day of carolling with the entire school. Most of the songs were from the festive evening so it was really fun to watch the different grade groups lead their songs while we sang along.
Afterwards, we did more work on our If You're Not from the Prairie poems by brainstorming different adjectives to go along with the things found on the prairies. Some of the ideas we came up with were "blazing bright sun" and "golden grass waving in the wind." We will be continuing to work on these poems this week.
In math, we continued on with our pattern centers and then moved onto Pattern Palooza posters. For some students, Pattern Palooza posters were assigned as homework to help them catch up with the progress of the class. Our goal is to complete these posters by the end of the week so that they can be laminated and used as placemats for the upcoming Fun Lunch in January.
Finally, we added our finishing touches to the ornaments and decorated them with different sequences and stickers. Mod Podge was added at the end to create a clear hard finish. Here are a few finished creations:
Here are a couple of reminders:
