It has been a whirlwind of excitement ( and learning) at Buckaroo Workshop! Many of our activities revolved around the Polar Express story since we are watching it tomorrow. We reread the story several times and then worked on retelling what happened in the story using characters, events and settings. The children also wrote did a prewriting activity to write letters to Santa. They were most excited about applying for an elf job in Santa's workshop someday. I assured them that they wouldn't be hired as children but that Santa may come to them as adults someday and ask to hire them. This was their chance to brag about themselves:). You will see a few examples below. We are finishing up our study of reindeer this week by comparing Santa's special reindeer to the reindeer of the tundra.
I hope that all of you have a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday break! Thank you for sending the best part of yourselves to me each and every day! They are all incredibly special to me!
Upcoming Events:
Tomorrow the children can wear or bring their PJs to school but, if it's not raining, they will be going outside for recess so plan accordingly. Your child can also bring a treat (for once, it doesn't necessarily have to be healthy but it does have to be nut free:).
Our holiday party begins at 2:30 and the parents that are helping can come as early as 2:15 to set up.
