All Aboard the Polar Express!

For our Polar Express party, each student wore his/her pajamas to school! We pretended to be one of the children from this story who took a trip to the North Pole on the Polar Express. As a class, we both read the book and watched the movie!! It was a fun day!

Waiting for the "Conductor Polston" to let us aboard the "Polar Express". Every student had a ticket to board the train!

All Aboard!!!!! Conductor Polston punched all of the tickets to board the train!

For "intermission" we had a yummy hot chocolate break, just like the children on the train!

Mrs. Small Visits 1st grade!

Before Christmas break, my mom, "Mrs. Small", came to visit first grade! We baked sugar cookies together. The students got to watch and help mix the ingredients, roll out the dough, cut out the cookies, and then we baked the cookies in the oven in the cafeteria! Afterward, we had yummy cookies to decorate and enjoy. Each student got to take home one cookie to give away, as well!


Mixing the ingredients and rolling out the dough!

Gingerbread Houses!

This is such a fun project!! The students save milk cartons from lunch. We then glue graham crackers to the milk carton and cover the carton with frosting and candy. The students are so creative! They turned out great!!

Making a Special Thanksgiving Snack!

Today for snack we made a special turkey snack out of oreos and candy corn. They were fun to make and yummy to eat!!

Thanksgiving Dinner!

Today, the cafeteria served a traditional Thanksgiving meal of mashed potatoes, turkey and stuffing. We ate in our classroom and each child wore a pilgrim hat to celebrate!
