You can watch and listen to a version of the story at home here: http://www.speakaboos.com/story/the-gingerbread-man
We will continue to do learning activities based off of these tales. Next Friday, Dec. 20th, I'd like for the kids to decorate gingerbread cookies! But, I need your help. I need a family that would be willing to bake some cookies for us. Then, I will ask for donations for decorating materials from others. If you are willing to bake a classroom set of cookies, please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you for your support!
Speaking of cookies... last week, we learned a little bit about making cookies. We did some shared reading of a book entitled We Make Cookies. We modeled the steps it takes to make cookies and we wrote our own shared writing recipe. This week in the Drama Literacy Station, we have been practicing following the recipe to "make" cookies!
Take a look:
A great way to extend this learning at home is to bake cookies with your child! Fun and learning at the same time! Superstars might even draw and write about each step together ;)
Here are some great pictures from our classroom over the last few weeks:
Putting numbers 0 to 20 in order! What mathematicians we are becoming.
Playing Monster Squeeze on the lab tops!

Today we learned to recognize and find the first and last letter in our names. We glued each letter of our names into our literacy journals and highlighted the first and last letters!
The vocabulary of letters vs. words can be tricky. I encourage you to try this at home with other names from your family and other words that your child knows. Write the words and prompt your child to identify the first and last letters in the word. Circle or highlight them.
