The month of December was all about gingerbread! We read every gingerbread man book we could get our hands on, about 8-10 and compared the characters and the events. We acted out the story, drew story maps and noticed similarities and differences between all of the different versions of the story. On the back of one of the books we read was the recipe for gingerbread men so we decided to make our own! We took some time during math one day to measure and stir all of the ingredients. Everyone got to add something to the bowl and stir at least once. We also took some time to smell all of the spices that went into the dough, as a whole the class thought that cinnamon smelled great but the rest were pretty gross!
We played the game headbands with our Letterland friends. We gave each other clues about Letterland friends they couldn't see might be without telling the name or the sound. After we played the game several times we chose our favorite Letterland friend, painted them and wrote some clues for friends to guess in the hallway. |
