A few more pictures from the last month

The last few weeks of 2014 flew by! Here are some pictures I have been meaning to share but hadn't had a chance to.

Number sense activities with our Math Expressions curriculum

Doing yoga to calm our bodies after recess!

Doing "finger flashes" for each number 1-20

Some pictures of our amazing family potluck!

Thanks to all who attended. It was a lot of fun!

A few family portraits, which the kids gave as gifts to their families

These were inspired by Todd Parr, an author and illustrator that we read often!

The kids used oil pastels to make the drawings, then filled it in with water colors 

Our last week of school was Gingerbread Week! We did a science experiment to see what would
happen if a gingerbread man really went in the water, which he is too afraid to do in the stories!

Playing a math guessing game on a gingerbread-themed number line

Playing "Don't Eat Pete," a beloved game that involves identifying teen numbers and eating M&Ms!

Decorating gingerbread cookies at our winter party!

My mom came to help, and she had the genius idea of using popsicle sticks to spread the frosting

And last but not least, some adorable pictures of the whole class on the day of our all-school Winter Sing!
