Natalie, our Child of the Day, read a WONDERFUL non fiction book: CATS! Cats Rule...Dogs Drool!
We began reading Gingerbread books today. We began with Jim Aylesworth's book, The Gingerbread Man. Then we listened to Jan Brett read The Gingerbread Baby. You can go to janbrett.com and listen if you want. It's a GREAT website. We did a VENN diagram to compare and contrast the two books. We also began a wall chart of all the gingerbread books we will read this week. In addiiton to these two, we have read Gingerbread Friends, Gingerbread Cowboy, and Stop That Pickle!
We are also writing gingerbread poems and our own version of the gingerbread stories.
This afternoon we went to the gym as the 1st graders had a dress rehearsal for tonights performance. Be here, in the room, by 6:10. Everyone is welcome!
Be sure and DRESS WARM!!!! Many kids are still coming to school without hats/gloves/mittens and even though we don't have outdoor recess when it is below 20 degrees, the classroom is still chilly. Please dress warm!
Tomorrow we have library so be sure and return your books.
