'Twas the Day Before Christmas Break

Mrs. Young's first graders: "T'was the day before Christmas break and what to teach?"  Academics of course!  Writing: write goodbye letters to Mr. Anderson along with researching funny jokes to ask him.  He always made us laugh with his jokes!  Health: recognition of right side vs. left side along with body stretches by playing Holiday Twister.  Occupational Therapy: use of fine motor skills along with practicing Self-Control (Positivity Project) with a game of Pass the Giant Candycane.  All of this made for hungry tummies which were ready for some holiday cheer--yummy treats sent by parents so dear.  The day ended with a relaxation activity: watching a Christmas movie in cozy pjs.  We ended the year all in fun and can't wait to see what's new for the next one!
