September - Big Book of Classmates

Each student will create a page about themselves and their family which will be compiled into a class book so that we can learn about each other.

We will read the book "Where the Wild Things Are" and then complete a project by writing about and creating our own "wild things".

November - Turkey Dressing

Students will be disguising a turkey in order to save him from becoming Thanksgiving dinner!

December - Holidays Around the World

Throughout December, our class will be "traveling" to various countries around the world to learn how they celebrate winter holidays. We will make a project that represents each tradition, and as we travel, we will collect stamps in our holiday passports.

January - Snowglobes and Snowmen

During the cold of January we will make some fun snow projects!

Each student will decorate a box to hold all of their Valentine goodies. These can be made from Kleenex boxes, shoeboxes, or any other small box you have available.
