December Fun

We've been learning about different vowel digraphs over the past couple weeks.  Today we talked about the "ie" digraph.  We know that when 2 vowels go walking, the first does the talking! So that means "ie" says "i".  We made some ties to help us remember a few ie words.  We wrote them on our polka dots!

We had a special December project to work on with our families.  We decorated these Christmas trees!

We read the story, How the Grinch Stole Christmas.  We thought about what we would do to make the Grinch grin, if we were Whos.  So we turned ourselves into Whos and wrote about what we'd do to make that Grinch grin!

We heard that Santa was needing some extra help at the North Pole.  We filled out applications to be elves!  We included our strengths, our favorite toys, and our elf prints.  Then we turned ourselves into elves so we'd fit the part!
