Well
this week was packed full of our Christmas activities and even a few that were
not so festive. We recently had our 20
week gender ultrasound and had the sex placed inside a sealed envelope. I may need to add that this silly thing has
been in my house for 3 weeks now and is driving me nuts. My kiddos know that we are waiting to open it
up as a Christmas present this year and make a big surprise out of it all since
it is our first.
I
thought I would add to the fun in my classroom.
My kiddos graphed what they thought I was going to have….a little mister
or miss. I loved the whole lips and
mustache theme…SO CUTE!
After
we graphed our predications we had a sweet drink based on their predictions
(pink lemonade for a miss) and blue Kool-Aide for a mister). The kids loved the straws with the lips and
mustaches and loved getting a fun drink during the day.
Even
the boys picked a little miss…….
I
still had to make this activity educational and graphing wasn’t really going to
cut it so I made this into a phonics lesson too. I made little babies with y /ee/ sounds. We just learned about y the tricky guy that
steals the sounds of /ee/ and /ie/, so it worked out perfectly. The kids had to hunt the room for babies and
read and record the words inside a bottle recording form. They thought this pretty fun and had a lot of
fun with it.
We
will be finding out the gender on Christmas Eve Eve (SUNDAY). I can’t wait to find out what we will be
welcoming in April. When I return to
school I will be doing some kind of reveal for my kids…They are VERY excited to
find out what I will be having.
