During December....
We decorated our classroom for Noel. We had fun making pattern chains again, we decorated our sapin together, and we made 3-D snowflakes with our Big Buddies. We also made several crafts: a bonhomme de neige, Père Noel, and a sapin.

We celebrated Grinch Day. I read Comment le Grinch a volé Noel and I introduced our life-size Grinch. We brainstormed all the wonderful things we could do to help the Grinch's heart grow. Each sticker represents something positive someone did. The students loved being able to point out which stickers they had contributed. His heart grew 3 sizes! Bravo les amis!
We wrote letters to Pere Noel, and he wrote us back! It was very exciting receiving mail from the North Pole.
For our December collaborative class book, we each wrote a page about playing in the snow. They are hanging on our bulletin board outside the class. Look at the progress everyone has made at printing their name - and also printing the name of their friend!
The primary students gathered in the gym for a cozy winter singalong. Our class favourite is Vive le vent. I hope you were able to come to our Winter Festival. The students looked too cute dressed up as les rennes, and they sang "Père Noel dit Ho, Ho, Ho!"
Our classroom even turned into Santa's Workshop, with the elves hard at work making les cartes de Noel and les cadeaux. I hope you enjoyed them!

We finished off the month with a classroom party, where we rotated through different activity centers. Our Big Buddy class helped out by running each center. Merci!
I hope you enjoyed your Winter Break, and I'm looking forward to a fun week back!
