New Student for the Month of December

December has arrived and that means we have a new student for the entire month. She is quite small and dressed in all red. She is our Elf on the Shelf. This morning we read the book and talked about how she will be watching our behavior at school to make sure that each student ends on the right list for Christmas. We all want to be on the nice list! 


Meet Elsa!!!
Santa count down;

In math we created a Santa to help us count the days till he arrives.



Gingerbread Fun!

We started the week of by reading The Gingerbread Man using the Text talk version discussing all the story elements.





Next we read Gingerbread Baby


Next we reviewed syllables with our gingerbread men.







We became Scientist and found out that our gingerbread man did not survive the water!



We had a blast watching each other eat a cookie.




Our Emergent reader for the week.




Our STEM gingerbread activity.

 How can we get our gingerbread man across the water ... a great start to building bridges.



We loved our new OREO cookies!



Gingerbread House Fun

We all enjoyed decorating our gingerbread houses today. Many thanks go out to all families that provided supplies for our fun afternoon!
