The Connected Combo sure has Christmas spirit. They have been
enjoying every minute of the season. We have been writing, reading,
doing math, creating art, and singing....all about Christmas. Like I
said, these first and second grade elves have been hard at work. This post has
just a few of our Christmas themed activities.
We had many Christmas literacy and math centers. At the writing center,
students used ads to "shop" for gifts for friend and family. There was
also a sight word Christmas tree where students took word ornaments off the tree and wrote the high frequency words in their very best hand writing. We had
Christmas riddles and a Christmas stamp match center. For math, we had a
station called "Fa La La Fact Families," "Gingerbread Bump," and so
many more. There were tons of math and literacy games to practice all
the skills we have been learning. Mrs. Niemeyer needs to ask Santa for
some more card stock!
Another favorite activity has been reading by the fire. We loved listening to Christmas stories on our iPods. Also, our iPads have great reading apps like EPIC and Reading Rainbow. There were so many holiday stories to choose from.
