How did you spend your Friday? I got to spend mine with a class full of PJ clad six and seven year olds and a whole lot of special stuffy friends! You could feel it as soon as the morning bell went. Excitement was in the air! Everyone loved sharing their favourite stuffy during morning meeting, graphing their bedtimes, measuring their stuffy, and having a pillow fight all before recess. The class was partnered up and estimated how many unfix cubes tall their special friend from home was. Then they measured them to see how close they were.
Pillow Fight!
After recess the whole school had an assembly on generosity. It is amazing how many student driven projects our school takes part in. Some include collecting skates for refugees, tabs for wheelchairs, and cheer board hampers. Volunteers from our class talked to the school about our winter mission and mitten tree. We plan to sort all the donations Monday morning so I can deliver them to schools that can put them to good use next week.
Volunteers from the other 1-2 classes talked about all the cookies we helped baked last week for Siloam Mission.
After recess we joined our neighbour 1-2 classroom for a special surprise movie. We watched “The Good Dinosaur”.
To end the day we turned out the lights, pulled the blinds, and got our flashlights out. Buddy reading is so much more fun with a flashlight!
We have a busy week ahead with concert prep and our performances. Four days until winter break! 🙂
I’m really enjoying your blog! I am Jake’s Grandmother.
Thanks Pat! I’m glad you’re enjoying it. The idea behind it is to share all the exciting things we do together with our family and friends from around the world!
It looks like you had another fun filled week! I can’t wait to see the kids perform at their winter concert!
