A week in December!

 Our Science experiment was turned in this week and participated in the school science fair.

 We started gingerbread man week with a cookie and graphing what we chose as our first bite. Was it the head, arm or leg? Ask your child which they chose.

 We write words at center time...

 We performed a science experiment to answer the question "Why didn't the Gingerbread Man cross the river himself?" I mean we all agreed it was pretty silly that he trusted the fox, we know how tricky they can be.

 We found out why he didn't get into the river to cross it. Ask your child why.

 Leanna is so creative.

 Our bubbe! Jewish grandmother. We read about Hanukkah too!

 Jordan wrote the ABC's.

 Layanee drew her friends.

 Little Red Riding Hood came back to tell her story.

 Jayden practiced his -ig words.

 We made our Gingerbread cookie jar journals

 We will record the story endings of each version of the Gingerbread Man.

Two new students have joined our class. Two beautiful little girls that get along with everyone. Laylanilee and Ashanti. Welcome to our learning room!

My Janie loves to help the kids. They count on her help everyday.
