Centre Time Fun in December!

Today was so awesome! We had a special guest in our room watching how we learn. We were very polite to him! We learned about patterns (see the previous blog post "Exploring Patterns"). Then, we had centre time. We all played with so many things today and with all different friends. This is very nice to see!!  We also had a special surprise! One of our moms donated lots of beautiful Christmas cards to our classroom for us to write to our friends or family during centre time! We can go to the writing centre, choose a card, and practice our printing! Thank you so much for thinking of us! Today was our first day using these cards, and I think our class used about 10 cards already!!! We love them! Centre time is such a great time to get to know all the friends in our class. We build and create amazing things!

Reading in the hallway with a friend! The student on the right won a reward and she chose to "read in the hallway with a friend"

This student was making a pattern for her mom and dad to finish! They need to tell her what comes after the heart!

Great printing!
