Gingerbread Week

We are all about the Gingerbread cookie this week - if only we were eating them.

We are reading different versions of the story, including the Gingerbread Boy, the Gingerbread Girl, Gingerbread Baby, and more fun and silly stories.  We are using gingerbread men to practice our measuring skills in math, too.  We will be making gingerbread houses for our friends, too.

In social studies, we are learning about landforms - mountains, hills, caves, and volcanoes.  After, that we will switch to bodies of water - oceans, rivers and lakes.

In writing, we are writing about true events in our lives.  We are learning about a beginning, middle and end to a story, how to add details to our pictures and writing, and about speech bubbles.

Next week, will be Teddy Bear week.  I will be sending a letter home on Thursday with details (they can bring a stuffed animal next week).  Another letter will go home later next week, about our Teddy Bear Picnic on the 16th.  Keep a look out for those letters.

Have a good week.
