December Song and Calendar Share

We made a classroom big book to the song It Snowed a Heap. You can click on the Voice Thread to hear the tune. We talked about picking one syllable words for your page. When students suggested different places it could snow on we would clap it out. We used Cray Pas and a small sponge brush to put the snow. This was a fun quick literacy lesson.

Calendar Project

So here are some of the projects we have done for our classroom calendars. My girlfriend Genie came up with the great idea of having a few parents come in and help her do the projects. Next year, I plan to have parents sign up to help with this project. Pinterest makes this project easier!!
