Gingerbread Baby!


Today the green class read Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett!  We loved the illustrations and the cute story -  and will be doing more activities with the story throughout the week.

Our grade 8 buddies came down and together we made gingerbread baby ornaments, and helped our grade 8 buddies with their gingerbread books.

We had a bit of center time where we:
1) practised writing and saying the sight words: is, have, we, I
2) Christmas dice coloring -  building number sense and number recognition
3) Creating patterned Christmas ornaments
4) Gingerbread number puzzles,  counting and ordering numbers
5) Matching Uppercase and lowercase letters
6) Dr. Seuss Number Memory.  Matching the word to the number symbol
7)  Christmas tree math -  creating Christmas tree by ordering  the paper longest to shortest

We have also been practising counting up to 50 playing the "popcorn"game.  See how high your kinder can count to!

Our light em up act of kindess today was to " ask someone if they need help with anything".  We had lots of great helpers - asking their friends if they  needed any help getting ready for recess!
Bailee also pointed out that we "lit up" Mrs. Emerson Proven's face when she smiled after we showed her our Christmas lights performance!

Keep practising the Christmas concert poem!

On Thursday we will be decorating our props!

I took a bunch of pictures today -finally...  but left my camera at the school :(  

I will add the pictures for tomorrow!

Reminder - Thursday is library day!
