Happy New Year!

When we came back to school, after the Winter holiday, we learned about New Years. We learned why people celebrate the New Year, how people ring in the New Year, and New Year's traditions.

We talked about how people usually kiss the ones they love. Eliana gave her brother a New Year's kiss! Enoch looks thrilled! Ha! Ha!

We talked about how people use fireworks and noisemakers to ring in the New Year! Ms. Malcom played a video of the fireworks that she saw on Tybee Island. Then, everyone got their own noisemaker. We made lots of noise!

Ms. Malcom and Mrs. Stowe serenaded the class with "Aude Lang Syne"! :-)
Then, we worked on making our own New Year's Resolutions. All of our students did such a wonderful job with this activity!

Below, are some of the "people" that we made to display our New Year's Resolutions in the hallway! Too cute!

Happy New Year!!!

Happy Holidays!

We were soooo looking forward to getting together and opening our presents! Mrs. Stowe got a bracelet. It included pictures of her and Mr. John!

Ms. Malcom got some bird seed for her bird feeders at home!

Mr. John got a book (made by Ms. Malcom) about the bird tree tradition that he shares with us each Christmas!

The kiddos loved opening their presents!

Ms. Jerri got a picture frame with a picture of our class!

After opening our presents, we enjoyed some yummy treats!

Then, Mr. John read us his new book!

It was such a fun day and we really enjoyed our time together! Thanks to all who sent gifts for our students, Mrs. Stowe, and myself. We appreciate you thinking of us! Happy Holidays everyone!

Christmas Carols!

On the last day of school, before the holiday break, we had some very special visitors. Ms. Lane (D'Andre's mother) stopped by to spend some time with us. Mr. John (Mrs. Stowe's husband) and Ms. Jerri (Mrs. Stowe's sister) also stopped by!

Mr. John brought his drum and we sang Christmas carols!

Mrs. Stowe played the keyboard!

Then, we got a chance to play the instruments. That was fun!

Just a Cute Picture...

I had to share this picture because I think it is just too cute! These two are best buds!

Polar Express Pajama Party!

A few days before the winter break, we got together with our friends from Mrs. Roberts' class to watch the Polar Express. We were so happy because we also go to wear our pajamas to school! That was fun!

Ms. Malcom and Mrs. Roberts wore their pajamas too!

The "goodies" that our class brought to the Polar Express pajama party!

We loved watching the movie with our friends!

We had popcorn, cookies, and hot chocolate!

This was definitely D'Andre's type of activity. He had so much fun!

Tanayry loved the candy canes!

Santoes was so cute in his pajamas!

Eliana beside our class Christmas tree!

Our class pajama picture! Too cute!

Thanks to Mrs. Roberts' class for having us. We had a wonderful time!

Making Christmas Lists!

One Christmas tradition that Ms. Malcom does with her family each year is making Christmas lists. She decided to share this tradition with our class. We got out all of our toy ads, from the newspaper, and got to work making our Christmas lists.

We had a great time making our Christmas lists. Then, we put them in our stockings. I think this is a tradition that we will continue each year in our class.
