Grinch Day!

The Who's from Whoville!

Mr. Grinch

It was Grinch Day. We had Grinch juice and Grinchy jello! It was a green lunch snack! Some people wore lots of green and some even dressed up like Who's or even the Grinch. If people were dressed up like a Who, their hair was standing straight up!  We drew a picture of the Grinch - it looks JUST like him!  We made our own Grinch craft and had to think of ways to make him smile! We read the book and watched the Grinch movie! We learned that the Grinch's heart grew so big that he loved Christmas.
We were a Grinchy bunch!

Spreading some Christmas cheer!

Today we sang Christmas carols.  We went on a bus to the police station and we went to Division Office where the superintendent works. We sang Jingle Bells, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and We Wish You a Merry Christmas.  They all clapped for us.

Tomorrow is Grinch Day.  Wear some green!

3D elves & Gingerbread Houses

We had a great time creating our 3D elves last week. We were able to identify most of the shapes and we all loved each one's uniqueness! They looked amazing! Students were cooperating and synergizing while building their own elf. It was a great experience.

Today we built gingerbread houses! We had TONS of candy and icing to share. It was fun, fun, fun!

The Gingerbread Hunt!

The Gingerbread Man left us clues all over the school!

We had to use QR codes to figure out where to go! 

This was a message!

He left a note and some yummy treats!

We went on a gingerbread hunt.  We had to scan the pictures with the iPad.  When we scanned the picture, there was a note to read.  We had to go all over the school looking for him!  We went to the gym, the library, the office, and the kindergarten room.  We got sent back to our classroom.  The gingerbread man WASN'T there BUT he left us a present!  He left us a tasty treat of gingerbread cookies.

We will rock!

Yesterday was our Christmas concert. We sung our songs in front of our schoo in the afternoon and then at night we performed for the moms and dads.  We were kind of nervous but we rocked it! Today we watched the Gr. 3, 4, 5 play. It was The Nutcracker.
In math, we built a gingerbread man with 2D shapes. We are going to write about them. On Thrusday, we are going to make 3D evles. (Remember to bring a wrapped empty box) 3D means the shapes are fat and 2D means they are flat!
We had indoor recess AGAIN......go away cold weather!

Shapes, shapes, shapes

We had a special assembly this morning. It was about our 7 Habits! We won a grant and some gentlemen gave us a cheque for leadership groups.  We sang some Christmas songs with the WHOLE school.
In math, we are working on shapes. Help me find shapes at home!

An important note went home today about all the events in December! Please read it.

A French Play!

We started the 12 Days of Fitness.  On the 1st day of fitness, we had to give a high five to someone near me! We began the song with all the grade 1s, 2s and 3s.
We went to music and practiced our songs with the other classes.
It was so cold out that we had indoor recess again. We played lots of tag games in gym like Colour Tag.
We went to see a play by the french class.  We saw the Three Little Pigs. They performed the play in french!
Tomorrow WEAR your EJCS shirts tomorrow. OR a blue shirt.
