Catching Up with Pre-First

Temperatures are dropping, there's a chill in the air and everyone is starting to get holiday fever.  We are getting in the winter spirit in our classroom and last week we read The Snowman by Raymond Briggs.  After the story, the girls had to conference with a friend about a creative way their snowman would melt.  The girls headed back to their seats to make their own melted snowman.

Many thanks to the Pritchard's for being our Mystery Readers last week!

December has arrived and winter is right around the corner.  To get into the spirit, we read a fun winter story and decorated our bulletin board with one of our favorite winter things...mugs of hot chocolate!  The girls adorned their mugs with snowy images then described why they like winter.  Their own little cup of hot chocolate helped inspire their creative juices.

We started our gingerbread unit and today the girls listened to The Gingerbread Man big book for the second time.  Then they were then put into pairs and had to sequence the story with their partner.
