Merry Christmas everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying wonderful holidays! Our program went great! I was so proud of my students! Then Wednesday was Christmas party at school and o what excitment!! Gifts in our classes in the morning(and I got some pretty awesome ones from my students!) then brunch with the parents and skating on the pond after! Now after a couple busy days getting ready we are on our way to my sis n bro in law in Phoenix!! Yay for family, nice weather, and shopping!!

Holidays-almost!!

Finally after all the practicing tonight is our program!!I'm lil nerves how it'll go but I can't be for my children's sake!! But after it's done we have party tomorrow n then HOLIDAYS!!
O and yes it looks like I made it through those last couple days!!They were actually fun like I knew they would be!:)

How Do You Do It?!

3days of school to get through!!then the party and its holidays!! But how do you get through these next 3 filled with excitment...which causes much energy!...lack of sleep...which causes them much energy at times n the teacher alot less energy...trying to pull this program together(we almost have it I THINK!)...trying to wrap up work before holidays...sick children so always missing some of my class n always sending homework...but we WILL get through!! And some of it is fun! I can catch their excitment for Christmas very quick!!
Anything special you do these last few action packed days?...

Baking in Math Class!!

Today we had very fun math lessons! My grade 1s got to make peanut butter and then we divided celery stalks into fourths and crackers in half to eat it on! Wow they had fun!! To make the peanut butter place 1 cup peanuts and 1 tbsp oil in blender. Blend until smooth. Add more oil if to dry...they were also learning to read a recipe so I wrote it on the board and went over it with them...
A couple friends came in and made Apple Jack Cookies with my grade 2s! The students basically did it all even chopped the apple! Made for great enthusiasm! Then we ate them  during story...their lesson also was how to read a recipe...fun times!:)
