The days are so busy as we prepare for next week's community sale. We can barely get it all done!
We re-read our Gingerbread Man story, with the children more confident than ever when reading their parts. Later this week, we will explore other versions of the Gingerbread Man story and discuss the similarities and differences. Alternate text includes: Gingerbread Baby and Gingerbread Friends, all by Jan Brett. Gingerbread play is beginning to trickle into playground play, with the boys each taking a part and playing chase. It's fun to hear literature come alive!
As we will do every day this week, we introduced last names, presenting each name by itself on a card. The children guess whose name is written on each card, then we spell the name aloud. It's going to take a lot of practice, but it's a lot of fun!
We began practicing for next week's play, Brown Reindeer, Brown Reindeer. First, we all learn all the parts, then we will make assignments. It's so cute!
Today's big treat was brought by Ms. Cortney. Just like Mrs. Clause, she's quite the baker! She helped us make a surprise art project that involved following directions, waiting for turns, sensory experiences, thematic vocabulary, and retelling a sequence of events. I wish I could share more details, but it's top secret.....you'll just have to wait to see! Thanks, Ms. Cortney.
We began a math patterning art activity that we will complete tomorrow.
Today was a lot of fun- we look forward to a great tomorrow!
