2024 Week 15 Gingerbread!

Here is my Best Day Ever! 

We had to drive nearly to Canada to find snow and our "perfect" tree!  

We take 2 yearly winter trips Up North. One to cut a tree from the Superior National Forest, visit the Julebyen, take a train trip on the Troll Train  and then one for the John Beargrease Sled Dog Race coming up in January.  I LOVE winter!

 


I go in the Lake every chance I get!
We followed wolf tracks while finding our tree on this logging road!


Monday began my absolute favorite week in kindergarten: 
Gingerbread Week!


The kids created their own gingerbread decoration for our fun reading chart!

For our Reading/ Language Arts activity we practiced the an family with these cutie pie flip charts:
 

We also practiced our Addition skills with a new lucky duck book!




Hang on to your hats,  we actually mixed up and baked real gingerbread cookies! It smelled soooo good in our room! The aroma brought more than a few people in to check out the deliciousness!



































It really doesn't get much better than this!
❤️
Independent and/or partner and/or group Reading is such a good time!











Choice time=fun and learning time!















Monday evening,  my besties and I rang the bells at Hyvee! 
What a generous crowd that night!

Monday afternoon we finished up Wants and Needs!

I was finally able to finish round one of Action 100. We had 5 kids move to level 1G. That level requires 20-25 sight words at flash speed! Well done,  Kiddos!

We also wrapped up our lesson on color words with a fun song called "Color Farm"
Here are the actors for round 2:








More choice time!


 The gingerbread village is Open!

Mrs. Olson did a great job with the kiddos while I was up north.  "Where do Animals Find Food? " was the fun science lesson she taught last Friday 

The family projects are adorable!




We are really reading now as we look at ending sound!

Wednesday's centers included:
Station 1: S.T.E.M. Challenge, created a boat/ raft for our gingerbread man so he doesn't get wet!













Station 2: Creating Teen Numbers with Jill




Station 3: Pokey Pin, Gingerbread characters




Station 4:Read the Room , Gingerbread Sight Words






Station 5: Cookie dough playdough!
(It really looks real and smells delicious! 
But it really is playdough!)








This was a delicious and fun graphing experience!


We had a very generous donation from Lewiston Senior Living where my mom lives.  The purchased 12 little writing tablets for our class!



When centers activities are chosen during choice time,  it's a win!




Our igloo is really looking igloo-ish!
