we practiced writing Nn's with fingerpaint this morning...
and also created our Traveling Gingerbread Men.
our class is involved in a very fun and exciting project based on the book The Gingerbread Man retold by Jim Aylesworth. we do this project every fall and we hope that each gingerbread man can now visit his friends by traveling in an envelope.
in this project, the students make paper gingerbread men and mail them to friends and relatives. we are sending home the gingerbread men this week for you to select a friend or relative who will participate in this fun activity. each class will keep track of where Gingerbread Man has been by marking the map we have in our classroom when we receive the letters from your selected person. we hope that you will help us with this project by sending Gingerbread Man to another city and/or state. our goal is to learn about many different places and marking his travels on our school map.
I saw this door on Facebook this weekend and just had to have it.
Miss Hunter looked at my pic and got busy!
this morning we sang and made up motions for "This Is the Way We Get Dressed." we talked about sequence ie socks before shoes, toothpaste on toothbrush before brushing teeth, underwear before pants (that one got a giggle). Archie also brought in pictures of family events to observe the special clothing.
here are a few:
t-ball
Christmas
Dixie Stampede
saw mill
and my favorite, their Senior Prom pic :D
question of the day:
we also had fun putting together Thanksgiving number order puzzles this afternoon :)
