Polar Express

We rode on an imaginary train and listened to The Polar Express.  Then, later on when we were watching the movie and sipping our hot chocolate, our class received a special gift from the North Pole!  We opened the box and found a class set of jingle bells!  We were so excited!

 

The Grinch Who Stole Christmas

We watched The Grinch Who Stole Christmas and talked about the Grinch's character traits.  We made the Grinch using construction paper and cotton and then made a web around him listing adjectives to describe his character.  We glued it in our writer's notebook.  We learned that he was not a very nice person at the beginning and middle of the story.

Sight Words

Today we practiced writing our sight words on white boards.  The kids did a great job and had a fun time.  Next we will work on applying those words in our writing notebooks.
