Gingerbread Boy and Girl

The Monday before we got out for Christmas break, we wrapped up our study of many, many different gingerbread books.  We had plans to make our own gingerbread boy and gingerbread girl, but it didn’t work out quite like we had planned!

The dough was rolled outthen we used different types of candy to decorate themWe were so glad that Mrs. Moran’s daughter was at school with us that day because Mrs. Abraham was struggling to get the Gingerbread girl to look like a gingerbread girl!  Here they are before we put them in the oven!The students were so excited to go get the gingerbread boy and girl out of the oven.EEEEEkkkkkkk- when we got to the cafeteria- the gingerbread boy and girl had leaped out of the oven and left us clues all over the school.  We had to go on a hunt to find them.

We finally found them under the Christmas tree in Ms. Peck’s room!

This is what they looked like after they were baked and ran all over the school.

Lots to Catch Up on

Well, it’s been a while since this blog has been updated but we have been SUPER busy in kindergarten getting TONS of BRAN WRINKLES!

Apples were our theme unit a few weeks ago.

We estimated how many seeds would be in the center  of the apple, then sliced it open and counted them.

We have READERS~ the students are learning sight words and are now reading.

During our apple unit each student brought in an apple and then we graped each color of apple.

In math we have mastered patterns and sorting!

Here a few of the students favorite books!

We compared and contrasted a pig and a sheep.

and during the afternoon quiet time we have done a few art projects.
