Time to investigate our homework from last week...the twenty-four Christmas carols
as some of our families in the class come from a variety of backgrounds and cultures.
as some of our families in the class come from a variety of backgrounds and cultures.
Jingle Bells...of course!
Walking in a Winter Wonderland.
Santa Claus is Coming to Town.
Joy to the World.
Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
O Come All Ye Faithful (Old Faithful, the geyser in Yellowstone National Park.)
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas.
O Christmas Tree.
This one is "What Child is This"...note the question mark on the basket.
"We Three Kings" of course.
A deck of cards in a hallway must represent "Deck the Halls".
"I Saw There Ships Come Sailing In" is a lovely carol.
"O Holy Night" is a favourite of many.
Hey! An alphabet with no "L"...oh, I get it..."The First Noel".
Away in a Manger...yup, that's a "weigh" scale.
Wow! Twelve dates of December 25th...that can only mean "The Twelve Days of Christmas".
"I Say Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" which is a fun Christmas tune.
That looks like a tool called an awl. That's a wishbone meaning I want something. Hey, that saw has lost its' two front teeth. This can only mean, "All I Want For Christmas is My Two Front Teeth".
The Christmas Song - "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire".
"It Came Upon a Midnight Clear".
"Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!"
A knight is asking us to get really quiet..."Silent Night".
"O LIttle Town of Bethlehem".
The Lone Ranger's horse is called Silver and he is wearing bells around his neck...thus..."Silver Bells". Check in later over the weekend with more pictures from this week at school. Mr. Hamer OCT
Our class...
...was paid...
...a surprise visit...
...from our Kindergarten friends...
...and their teachers...

They sang...

Christmas songs!
PJ Day!
So colourful.
Happy faces...
...abound.
Lots of accessories!
Some Christmas math work.
Alison, Mr. Hamer's daughter, came in for a visit.
She read an engaging story.
The children were excited.
They followed along...
...as Alison read.
Then it was time...
...for a craft.
We made...
...nutcracker models.
Hard at work cutting out the template pieces.
Hard at work colouring.
An entire row...
...of finished nutcrackers.
Looking good...
...as super sentinels for the class!
Play time.
More poses...
...in PJ's the next day!
Say cheese everyone!
And...they do!
School is so much fun!
