Winter Wonderland

Well!  Last week was a successful week where we learned all about the letter M.  We made our letter M chart and decorated mittens! We also transformed our room into a winter wonderland.  We focused quite a bit on snowmen projects!  Take a look...

We made snowmen with puffy paint and buttons...

We also made snowmen out of toilet paper rolls (my favorite!)

After having a great week back, then weather decided to turn on us and we had 2 snow days!  And of course, those snow days happened to fall on Tuesday and Thursday, which is when we come to school.  So here's what I did on my days off  :)  Hope everyone enjoyed the weather as much as I did!

Took the pup, Wilson, for a walk in what felt like Antarctica...

Made some delicious food... caprese chicken, zucchini fries and cous cous.

Eggplant parmesan "roll-ups"

And reese's cupcakes from scratch...

My husband was pretty happy that I had days off :)  I'm looking forward to next week when I actually get to see my kiddos!  Happy Winter!

Christmas in Mrs. Kloss' Class

SO SORRY for the late post!  I left my camera in my classroom and was out of town for the holiday.  We had so much fun preparing for the holidays and then celebrating during our Christmas party!  We started out by making crafts to give to our families:)

Peppermint ornaments with red hot candy details...

Snowflake ornaments made out of popsicle sticks, puzzle pieces, paint and glitter...

Wreaths made out of our hand prints...

Santa faces made out of paper plates and cotton ball beards...

Christmas lights with our thumb prints...

Christmas trees made out of glitter paint.  Squeeze the paint on one side, fold on half, open up and magic!

And finally we topped everything off by making gingerbread houses at our Christmas party!

Thanks for checking everything out.  We really enjoyed our holiday time and can't wait to kick off the new year!
