Pete the Cat Saves Christmas

I just realized that I did not post any photos of our Christmas desk decorating activity last week. Here's a little photo display...

 

When we finished decorating our desks, we began a fun Pete the Cat Saves Christmas activity booklet. If you have not had a chance to read any Pete the Cat books, you need to run out to our public library immediately and sign one out. I think Pete the Cat might just be one of our favourite series of books. Here is a short video link to Pete the Cat Saves Christmas.

 

 

 

Our love for Pete the Cat has also inspired our Pete the Cat math themed centres focusing on learning to read a write number words.

 

We've also been working on our holiday themed writing skills over the last two weeks. We have been using the "someone, wanted, but, so, finally" graphic organizer to help the students sequence the steps to write an effective paragraph. Here are a few examples of our work:

 

 

The amount of detail in each of the paragraphs varies depending on the student's grade level as well as their abilities. A few of the students had the opportunity to publish their paragraphs on our blog. You can check them out here.

 

Now it is time for a little elf update. Here's what she has been up to this week.

 

 

Important Reminder

 

The Santa / Christmas store will be open tomorrow.

 

Enjoy your evening!
