We had another fun week working with the gingerbread man and his story!
Here is a little video and song the kids enjoyed this week:
We wrote about what we would look like, who we would run away from, and what our gingerbread house would look like if we were gingerbread boys or girls.
We hunted for gingerbread men with sight words and letters on them.
We played a teen number gingerbread game. Sometimes the fox would get drawn and then he would eat all of the gingerbread cards we had collected.
We sorted gingerbread men that were holding pictures of various objects into gingerbread houses based on the vowel sound of their picture.
We made a class big book of the gingerbread man story. Here is how it turned out:

One of their favorite things to do this week was eat gingerbread men cookies and write about the order of how they ate them.
The kids had to eat just one bite at a time, then write about what they did first, next, then, and last. It wasn't always easy. One little guy said, "Ms. Monsivais! I have a problem! The cookie was just too good, so I ate it all!" I love kindergarteners!
They enjoyed every bit and bite of this activity. :)
After we ate our gingerbread men, we did a little graphing activity and showed which part of the gingerbread man we ate first. The head won, legs came in second place, and arms were last.
For part of our computer time, we decorated our own gingerbread houses! You can play this game at home HERE.
We also had fun making silly sentences about Santa.
We decorated Christmas trees and counted the ornaments.
We sorted shapes.
We played an addition game with dice.
And we practiced writing our teen numbers with a fun game during math time.
This week, we focused on learning about periods, question marks, and exclamation marks. We talked about how to use them, what our voice sounds like when we read them, and how to identify them. We will practice more next week.
Ivory's mom, who is our Great Artist specialist, came in this week and helped us learn about Dürer's Rhinoceros woodcut print:
The kids got to make their own print in a piece of styrofoam.
Then we rolled ink on them with a brayer,
and had some awesome original works of art when we were finished.
In PE, we got out some big Rudolph noses and played some reindeer games. :) We played catch ancd throw with a partner.
We practiced guiding Santa's sleigh with our noses.
And I had them all pose for a big reindeer picture. Cutest reindeer ever!
We got to sing happy 6th birthday to Ivory!
And Gracie was our star student. She showed us a special scarf her mom's friend made for her.
