How Santa Got His Job

Well, the semester is almost over.  What better way to wind down than to do a few Santa activities.  We read How Santa Got His Job.  We talked about what Santa learned at each job that made him more successful.  The student's jobs right now is to be the best student they can be.  We talked about what we wanted to be when we grow up and what we could do now to help in our success later on.  The kids were encouraged to remember that we attend school to learn how to be a better worker in the future.

We also read Santa's New Suit and completed several of the writing activities included.  

TPT Santa's New Suit.  Their homework was to use their imagination and create a new suit for Santa.  

I think the kids thought the Santa Slime was their favorite though.  I found the recipe on Pinterest.  Here is the recipe we used: Santa Slime Recipe.  I had made oobleck before using white school glue but never with clear glue, or glitter glue.
