We are such a creative bunch in first grade this year, but it happened to be boys who requested that I take their picture yesterday. If they didn't remind me, sometimes I'd completely forget to record their creations. As I mentioned last week, we've had less outdoor time since the snow started to fall. It just takes so long to get in and out of all that outdoor gear for extra outside time in the morning. So, we've been having free choice every morning between math and Reading Workshop. It's been a great way for children to have some down time between intense learning periods. It's great to see their imaginations in full gear!

| Pattern blocks never seem to get old with this bunch, and they never cease to amaze me with the time and care they put into their creations! |

| Same day, a little later... |
 |
| Our theme of "Holidays around the World" continues... we started making "evergreen" crowns for St. Lucia Day...a festival that takes place in Sweden, Italy, and many other European countries on Dec. 13th. It's also known as the "Festival of Lights" and is the beginning of Christmas celebrations. These crowns are traditionally worn in parades and other St. Lucia celebrations. |

| Children had fun tearing paper to make leaves for their crowns. I will take a picture of everyone wearing their crowns tomorrow. We still need to add the candles! |
