Zippy the Elf
Zippy the elf finished out his week in some different places...
On Monday Zippy was reading a book.
On Wednesday Zippy used our beads from the math area to make a candy cane to hang on our tree.
On Thursday Zippy made a LEGO seat for him and a house for Pig.
He even left a note for one of our sick friends who had been out all week.
Later that day he left us a message as he flew out that he would see us next year.
He also left us cookies and hot cocoa... Yum!
Every since I bought my house a few years ago (I have a pine tree in my yard) we have been making pinecone ornaments with the students that we then put a ribbon on and they take home as a gift for their parents. It's so easy... But messy! White paint and glitter is all you need... Have the students paint the pinecone and then roll it in glitter. Once it's dry then we hot glue a ribbon on the top.
Bakery Display
We had been working like crazy to make sure we finished our center rotations before break. Success! I was able to meet with each group to make the clay model of the treat they signed up to make. I will post more about this when I post about our bakery investigation... But here are some photos of the kids molding the clay. When we get back from break they will paint their models and we will label and display them. The students also used some old wire spools to paint stands for the treats to go on when we display them.
It was a busy week! I hope everyone enjoys their break! See you in January.
