Happy Holidays!

With the Holiday Season upon us, we set to work creating some wonderful gifts and holiday treats in the giraffe class! 

Ms. Riley created snow globe ornaments for each of us to hang on the tree, and we created some beautiful pictures and ornaments for our loved ones

Mrs. Downing loved our holiday wish book!

We used watercolors to create some awesome snowman paintings

and we used tissue paper collage and watercolors to create our holiday scenes to go with our 5 Senses of Christmas poems!

On Wednesday and Thursday, we built and decorated our Gingerbread Houses with our friends and family. It was so wonderful to see everyone's creativity (and we also had fun munching on some yummy sweets and treats!)

On Friday, we got to wear our PJs and bring our stuffies to school! When we got into the classroom, we found out that the gingerbread had escaped once again and were hiding around the school! We followed their clues to find them, and eventually they led us back to our classroom where they had left us some fun holiday toys, games, and crafts!

We got to enjoy some fun before heading down to the Cafe for the Holiday Butterfly

During indoor recess we got to hang up the beautiful bird seed wreath Ms. Riley received and we watched for some feathered friends out our classroom window :)

We also cuddled up to watch How The Grinch Stole Christmas! It was a short but fun-filled Friday as we went home early to beat the snow storm. While we had a great time giving and receiving this holiday season, the best gift we could ask for is each other :) Happy Holidays, Giraffe Families!
