It’s the last one in our lifetime (unless you’re going to live forever…like me!). Today was 12-12-12. Of course, I used this as a way to have a fun day of partying learning. Today we celebrated the number 12!
We started our day off with the number game during our morning meeting. We counted to 12 and whoever was number 12 had to sit down! We played until only one person was left! Counting. Number order. Fun. Giggles. Common core standards. Smarter not harder.
We read “The Twelve Cats of Christmas” and LAUGHED hysterically. Of course, there were 9 pussycats playing. So that caused some controversy. People, get this book. Read it. Sing it. Your kids will love it.
We brainstormed a list of all of the things we wanted 12 of! Can you guess which one is mine?!?! HMMM Again, we laughed and giggled as we were brainstorming. Isn’t that the best sound? The genuine laughter of the monsters having fun and learning?!?!
And of course, we made hats! It is a kindergarten smorgasboard requirement that hats be involved! Our hats were made of 12 tropical holiday pictures! Crabs, flamingos, reindeer in sunglasses and a surfing Santa! These are the cutest! Go check them out! (My clip art obsesssion, Ashley Hughes, created them! Go see them here!)
