The kindergarten students had a big surprise when they arrived at school today….our classroom had transformed into an Elves Workshop!
Each student had an elf hat on their desk. (Would you believe I glued the ears all on UPSIDE DOWN?! Yikes! We all got a good laugh about that!)
I had four activities planned for the students.
Students wrapped the gifts that they made for their parents. This was great fine motor work!
After wrapping their gifts, students chose ribbon to add flair and created a personalized gift tag.
Another activity was a hidden word activity where students used magnifying glasses to find CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words hidden in the picture of an elf.
Students also used unifix cubes to measure gifts.
The final activity had students searching the classroom for stockings. They read each CVC word, found the matching picture on the recording sheet, and then wrote the word.
I absolutely adored hearing the students’ excitement and responses to the activities. After we had completed the workshop stations, I gave students a few minutes to decorate their desks. This was perhaps the best gift yet:
Have I mentioned just how much I LOVE my job?!
