It's been a while....

This is how I feel after the past month =)

Whew! We have survived the stretch between Thanksgiving and Christmas Break! I'm so sorry I have slacked on getting a post up, but you would not believe how crazy things get in our class those few weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas! I'm not going to write much, I'm just going to let the pictures do the talking! I hope you all have enjoyed the first part of Christmas Break and enjoy next week as well! Looking forward to an AWESOME second half of the school year!

Thanksgiving Lunch

My precious Pilgrim Girls

My sweet Pilgrim Boys

Wild Little Indians

The entire crew ready to Feast! 

How blessed my students (and I) are to having such loving families that care to be involved in even the little things like a Thanksgiving Feast at school! 

Having Fun with Shapes

To learn about 3D shapes, we used our favorite thing - FOOD!

Cheese Cubes- Cube, Juice Box - Rectangular Prism, Tootsie Rolls - Cylinders, Bugles- Cone, and Trix - Spheres. 

Having a Little Christmas Around the World Fun

While this time can be very hectic, we do try to still learn about Christmas in other countries as much as possible! The pictures below show the kids making gingerbread men (Germany) and Christmas Trees (USA). We also watched the Grinch and had Hot Chocolate and Popcorn. Unfortunately, my camera died- but I did happen to catch Tylon snoozing within the first 5 minutes of the movie. =)

Last, but not least, the day we've all been waiting for since we got back from Thanksgiving- our Christmas Party!!! We started with giving our RAK gifts to the Ms. Naomi from the Adullam House. How thankful I am to have such giving parents and giving kids. I really feel that the RAK's that we've been doing this year are really impacting some of these young hearts and it makes me so very proud! The Christmas party was a blast, even though we missed Mya and JT! Thankfully I have some awesome parents (and grandparents) that stepped in to play the games. Even though I'm pretty sure they secretly enjoyed getting in on the action! 

I think I have caught up on everything now! I hope you have enjoyed these pictures as much as I enjoyed the actual time spent doing these things with your children and you! Enjoy the rest of the break and I look forward to 2013!
