December Fun

We had an awesome week in First Grade! On Monday we decorated gingerbread houses.  I love how first graders get more frosting on their faces than on the houses! We had a classroom elf named Flash that did some pretty silly things.  We ended the week with Polar Express Day.  The kids looked so cute in their p.j.'s.  We watched Polar Express, had hot cocoa, and left with a "Believe Ticket" and sleigh bell!

Trying to escape?

Reading to friends.

Where does he think he's going?

Gingerbread Man

We read five different versions of the Gingerbread Man over the week. The Gingerbread Girl won as the class favorite!

We decorated Gingerbread Men and then took one bite. We made a pie graph showing the part most of us bit into first. The leg won by an overwhelming amount!

We read two different versions of the Gingerbread man and compared them.

Gingerbread Man week was so much fun! We made a gingerbread man glyph showing the month we were born, our favorite things to do, our favorite animal, etc.
