Run, run as fast as you can!

You can't catch me...

I'm the Gingerbread Man!

Last week was all about the Gingerbread Man!
We read so many different stories about him and his friends.
Take a look at our posters:

We made gingerbread men and wrote out the recipe
of ingredients that you will need.

Here is our winter bulletin board:

We had a blast going on our gingerbread hunt!

Arriving in our classroom, we found these crumbles, this note,

and a book about a Gingerbread Man who got loose in the school.

Finally, we found them! They returned to our classroom.
Those tricky little cookies! 

Composing and Decomposing Numbers

We are working on composing and decomposing numbers.

Check out our domino match game.

each domino has two numbers that add up to compose

a larger number.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We want to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Here are some activities we did to learn and celebrate

this tradition:

We made a list of things we are thankful for.

We learned about the First Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims

and Native American Indians.

We retold the story using a retelling bracelet.

We read a funny story about 3 silly turkeys.

Then, we retold the beginning, middle, and end

of the story using pictures.

We made "thankful" placemats for our Thanksgiving 

celebrations.

Friday afternoon, we enjoyed a classroom family

Thanksgiving feast before leaving for break.

We are so thankful for each other!

This is one happy classroom! :) 

Writing Captions

We are writing captions for pictures in Writer's Workshop.

Check it out! 

We used different turkey pictures and worked with a partner

to come up with funny captions for the pictures.

It has a red nose. It has colorful feather. It is colorful.
