No Drummers Drumming

Before you read on, I just want to say 

to everyone for joining me each evening during my 12 Days of Christmas.  I wanted to do something a little different and have some fun.  I think I have accomplished both.

THANKS for all your kind words and encouragement to me!  You have no idea how much they mean.

  

I hope that I have brought a little to your world of teaching and learning through these gifts.

I would also like to apologize but I could not honor everyone's requests if you missed a gift.

If you got last night's Color by Code, there was a mistake on the ornament.  THANKS Rachel!

A SANTA for my kids to make!

We started by reading What Santa Can't Do by Douglas Wood.

   
We made a Santa is, can, has chart.

We each wrote our own book about Santa using our chart to put inside our Santa.

They turned out ADORABLE!  My camera ran out of battery power after just one pic so I only have one to show.

On Monday, we will write letters to the big guy.

Click the picture above to grab a copy of our letter page.  I print it out on 8 1/2 by 14 paper. This will be available before and after 9:00!
