This week we will once again be comparing and contrasting gingerbread stories. The students seem to love these stories and are getting good at making predicitons based on the patterns we have noticed. We will be doing math, language, and art activities based around gingerbread. Each day you will see some sort of gingerbread "thing" come home. Please take the time to ask your child about the gingerbread stories and activities we are doing, at home. You might want to check out some gingerbread books from the library to read with your child as well. At the end of the week, we will decorate gingerbread cookies as our surprise activity. THANK YOU SO MUCH to all the people who sent in gingerbread cookie kits (or who offered to). It is so much appreciated!!!!!!! I will be sending these cookies home for you to see, but we may eat some other gingerbread cookies in class, if your child can not eat gingerbread cookies, please email me ASAP!
The next few days are supposed to be COLD! When it is below 5 degrees, we do not go outside for recess. Hopefully it will "warm" up by the end of the week and we can get outside for a bit. When we do go out, remember that your child needs to have boots and snowpants on to be able to go into the snow.
Next week is a short week...only 2 days and then we are off for the holiday break.
