Christmas is just around the corner and it starts here in the classroom

I know, i know, the title is quite a long one but i can't seem to find a shorter title for my post. It's just mere 1 1/2 more weeks to go before term 1 ends and all of us here especially the kids are getting more excited about the holiday and the christmas for some who celebrate it big time like Filipinos do
I prepared a Jelly baff for the tuff tray in the classroom and put some winter animals (penguins and 1 polar bear!)that the children can play with. My assistants added some glitters to enhance the feeling of "winter" in the classroom.


The jelly baff is a very interesting tuff tray activity in the classroom! It is very easy to prepare and it looks like a real snow from a far, but then when you touch it, it is very gooey and jelly-like, hence the name "jelly" baff.

I got obsessed making our own christmas tree from scratch! For the past years, we only put up the 1 we have from the resource room, but since now, majority of the kids are more able to help me with painting and decorating. I have decided to take it to the next level and make a tree using newspapers and modroc! The trimmings are a mix of christmas baubles and handprint giraffes made by the kids themselves!
