The Perfect Present


We have been reading a chapter book about The Perfect Present. The boy in the story is a very greedy and one minded boy. He is introduced to the idea that the best part of Christmas is helping those who are less fortunate than you are. He decides to give a gift to a child at a homeless shelter. When we finished the book yesterday the children colored a package and then wrote in the back who they would give a present to if they could, what that present would be and why they would give that gift. I have very caring and thoughtful students!

Santa's stuck! Oh no! What will we ever do???
We watched the story called Santa's Stuck.
Then we brainstormed ways to get him out.
Next the students went to work creating the scene. 
As the students finished the scene they began to explain how they would help Santa out of his predicament. 
We had a lot of ideas some being stop giving him goodies, with a laso and shave him out...
