Belated Christmas Post

Hello all!  Thanks to a fellow blogger and TpTer over at www.zoomzoomclassroom.blogspot.com, I am able to post pictures again!  Yay!!  Turns out that to add pictures, all you have to do is switch to HTML mode.  So simple yet it took me sooooooo long to figure out.  Thanks again, Zoom Zoom, for your amazing help!  And to teacher blog readers, you should totally check out the Zoom Zoom blog for some awesome teaching resources and ideas!

Now back to the post I've been trying to write FOREVER!

I took a little break over Christmas and New Year's but I am back!  I had such a lovely time staying at the house and spending time with my children.  I got some Xbox360 time in with my son and some coloring time with my daughter.  Time used wisely!  :)

However, I have some pictures of my classroom I took right before the break that I would LOVE to share!  (even though Christmas is over....  lol)

Gingerbread houses!  Of course we had to decorate houses!  It wouldn't have been Christmas without them!  Plus, we totally ate them when we were done!  haha

We love playing Christmas Tree Number Bingo with M&M's!  In fact, we always have success with manipulatives we can eat!

Christmas tree popsicle sticks with glittery confetti!  We can put sticks in length order and challange any designer with our decorative skills!

I saw this idea on Pinterest.  It's Grinch juice to drink while watching having a Grinch Day!  I forgot to bring straws, so every Kinder in the class had red sugary smiles!

The teacher in the classroom next door made this super cute snowman out of marsh mellows and other snacks.  He was just too cute NOT to post!

Last, but not least, is out little classroom Christmas Tree.  We made paper chains in class to decorate it ourselves.  Wish it was still up.  It really made the classroom so happy!

Now we are in the New Year, and we are starting to talk more about winter and the weather.  My Kinder friends and I are happily slipping back into our routines and working hard on our assessments.  I am starting a new weekly homework routine next week instead of daily homework.  I have really high hopes that it will work out!  I will keep you posted!

As much as I would love to continue this post,I am afraid I must leave.  My poor little thumb drive and died, and I need to work on information recovery!  Be back soon!
