For the past week we have been learning about the different holidays celebrated around the world. The girls have really enjoyed learning how people from Australia to Liberia celebrate this special time of the year. Below are two videos of the girls creating their own fireworks display...ask your daughters where in the world people celebrate with these fun explosions!

Gingerbread Activities
The Gingerbread Man, Gingerbread Baby, The Library Gingerbread Man, and The Jalapeno Man. These are just some of the different gingerbread books we have been reading as a class. We have done a variety of activities with the books such as retelling a story and comparing two versions using a Venn diagram. Yesterday, the girls made their own gingerbread man by using a glyph. Ask your daughters which version of the Gingerbread Man is their favorite!

Cinderella
What little girl doesn't like a fairy tale? Our Pre-First girls had so much fun this past week reading different versions of Cinderella. We did many activities with the stories, including a Venn diagram comparing two stories as well as a writing activity where the girls had to pretend that they had a fairy godmother. The girls got really creative with the writing project and one even said she would wish for a tie-dyed ball gown. The best part of our week was when we took our first field trip to the Meyerhoff to see Cinderella in puppets set to symphony. Here are some books that we read together: Cindy Ellen, Bigfoot Cinderella, and Egyptian Cinderella.
