What we've been up to this week

Here is our weekly photo gallery of work in the classroom.  Hope you enjoy it!  Some of the photos show activities that are new that I haven't posted about.  So expect to see lots more new things in the posts over the next few days.

 

This child is working with the nesting Santa dolls.

   

The children are loving being able to decorate this tree.  This has been a great activity for them to do with a friend.  They are so proud when they finish it and usually ask me to take a picture!

   

Tracing the metal insets

 

I ordered this Nativity feltboard set from Oriental Trading.

 

This Nativity puzzle was already in the stash in my classroom.  It is a large floor puzzle and the children have loved doing it.

 

This is a Gingerbread upper/lowercase letter matching activity that I printed from Childcareland.  

 

Two girls did this color matching activity together. 

 

This student is stamping the words she read from the red word drawer.

   

This snake number puzzle is new on the math shelves this week and has been challenging, but popular for the children.

   

As always, the hammering activity is great fun.

 

This student worked very hard for a long time putting together his Christmas bead sculpture.  See the finished sculpture in the photo below.

 

 

I love all the great creations my students build with the colored wooden blocks.

I too love the gingerbread letter matching activity. Hmmmmmm...I might have to make one of those for around our house! Where did you get your set of letter stamps? They look like a good size and easy to hold for little hands. I have some I got from Magic Cabin a while back. They're ok, but a but small and hard to use for the kdis... Thanks, as always, for all the inspiration!

It all looks wonderful as usual! I have been away from blogging so that's why I haven't been commenting.

I really like the gingerbread men letter game! And I love the tree so much, where did you find that? Please have found it on line (fingers crossed). I have a mug tree waiting to paint (possibly) green which we will use as a "tree" to decorate. It only has 6 (I think) "branches" so it's great for Egg, but I like that tree so much.

Now I am off to check out the other posts I missed :0)
