Celebrating Christmas!

Last week we celebrated the Christmas season by making elves, trees and santas! We read the book New and Improved Santa. In this book, Santa wants to change the way he looks so he dyes his hair and switches his outfits. The kids got to choose want kind of a Santa they wanted to make. They have great imaginations!

You Can’t Catch Me, I’m the Gingerbread Man!

Last week we painted gingerbread people and gingerbread houses. We labeled the parts on the gingerbread man and we did some fun writings about the different gingerbread stories we read about. There are so many versions of the story! We had fun reading the different types and comparing the characters, refrain and ending.

Have fun looking through these pictures of our gingerbread week!
