Let the shopping continue!  I still have presents to wrap, and shopping to do on TpT.  I have joined Casey for the Welcome Winter Sale. 


 
These are some of the winter items I have planned for the beginning of the year.

The week in pictures!

We had Fun in Second Grade and learned lots of things!
 
I thought I would share some of the fun activities we accomplished last week.  I just wish I would remember to snap some more photos. 
 
Elf Glyph

Love his face!  Such an artistic student!

All I Want for Christmas - Santa Writing

Flat Stanley - travels around the world! 


Parent/Family Gift bags that the kids made.  Aren't these Rudolph bags adorable!
 
Easy craft - simply cut a curve at the top of the bag; fold the bag; add antlers, eyes, and a nose.
Inside the bag are coupon books the students created, reindeer food, and an ornament.

Get Wrapped up in a Good Book Bulletin Board - Reading Reviews
 
This is a surprise! 
We made our family gifts on Friday.  I will snap a few photos of the completed product and post later.  The kiddos were so excited about this activity.
 
 
I hope to take more pictures today and tomorrow! 
Blessings to you all!

Resolving to Create More

One of my goals for myself is to create a few more items to use in the classroom.  So tonight I finished up a new activity packet to do in the new year.  I am excited about it and hope my kids enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it.  It has lots of literacy activities that can be used in centers.  Let me know what you think.

Who is counting? and the Week's Plan

14 1/2 days left with students...but who is counting?

How many days do you have left?  Do you and your students count it down in any special way in your classrooms? 

This week my goal is to try to stay in a normal routine.  I am planning a few fun activities but thinking maybe a mellow week will help before all the festivities begin.  We are starting the How to Decorate a Christmas Tree Writing Unit. 



Also, I am doing book reviews, Get Wrapped Up in a Good Book.  Mrs. Winston shared this last year.  My kids loved it.  Also, we are making elves!  Math Wire has some great glyphs, and I love the Elf Glyph

I am also preparing my Hot Chocolate Unit to do with my kiddos.  I will be using several things!  I will share more soon after I get everything planned. 

Have a good week!  Only 14 1/2 days....
