Classroom News From Miss. Ali- Dec 1st

This week our unit was Winter! We made some great winter projects, introduced the letter "Q" and practiced writing the number 6.



On Monday, we made sparkly doily snowflakes which we decorated with craypas and glitter! They look great hanging up in our classroom! We started practice writing the letter "Q" and thought of some words that began with "Q."



On Tuesday, we made Frosty Friend Snowmen! We made our snowmen out of cupcake liners!! Of course we didn't want the snowman to be cold, so we added a hat, gloves, some boots, scarfs and buttons!! We learned how to write the word "six" and write the number '"6."



Wednesday, we made tasty marshmallow snowmen!!! We got to glue (and sample =-) marshmallows to make our snowman's body! We used pretzel rods for his/her arms and legs. When the children were finished creating their snowmen, they got to eat some of the yummy treats we used for this project! We continued practice with the letter "Q" as well.



On Thursday, we read and illustrated a winter weather storybook. The story told us how it is important to keep warm and safe during the winter weather. The children named some supplies that one may need to keep warm during these cold winter months!! Miss. Vanda came for drama and did some great song and movement activities with the children~! They had a refresher course of what it means to have "Rhythm, and speak in Unison!



Friday, we ended our week with a letter "Q" project. We made a letter "Q" and made it into a QUEEN!! We were also happy to be back celebrating Shabbat with Cantor Carl, after our Thanksgiving Break!
