Gingerbread Hunt

We read a Gingerbread story today and at the end of the book was a clue!
We found out that we had a gingerbread boy in our classroom and that
he was leaving us clues to chase him around the school!
Make sure to ask me all the places we found clues!
And finally, the very last clue was stuck in our classroom door and our gingerbread boy
had left us a tasty treat for snack!
We never did catch our gingerbread boy, but we sure had fun trying!

Michael's mom came in and talked to us about Three Kings Day!
She brought costumes and props and we got to act out the story
behind Three Kings Day!

One of todays activities...

Today we did two groups and flip-flopped.
One group worked on Handwriting Without Tears
and the other group did Writers Workshop.

For Writers Workshop, we drew and wrote the words for
things you see in the Winter!  
Ask me about what I drew and wrote about!



Star of the Week... Bryce!


Morning meeting... our name song!

We got to pass our bumble bee and sing our name song (which we all love to do!) for our
new friend Xavier!

Welcome to our classroom, Xavier!


Double dose of Zair!

Zair had a very special day today!
Not only did we celebrate his birthday but he and his mom also
brought in our activity for our Zero the Hero activity!

Happy birthday, Zair!
-and-
Thanks for a fun Zero the Hero activity!
