Run Run Run As fast as you Can!!!

What an exciting week.  Last week we made a class Gingerbread Man.  While Ms. A was out the Gingerbread Man, Gingy-Alvin RAN AWAY!!!!  Can you believe it?
 This week we received and email with theses pictures attached of those silly gingerbread men running all around the school.

 They visited the office.

 And had some fun in the library!
 We made some really cool gingerbread men books and wrote about our favorite parts of different versions of the story.
 WE had to use our math thinking and use words such as largest, longer, biggest, rectangle, circle, and oval to be able to construct our gingerbread men correctly.

 It took hard work but they turned out beautiful!
 WE also got to make read gingerbread.  We added the mix, butter, eggs, and water.
 We mixed...
 patted...



and sculpted...

 Ms. A took them home to back them but...
 some were smashed a little bit to much and started smoking in her oven.  So we enjoyed some store bought cookies instead.

 We were reading a story on Friday afternoon and...
 Ms. Bowers came in the door and told us of something strange the she saw in the hallway

 It was our class gingerbread man's dad
 He told us he was searching for Gingy too!
 The in came Mrs. Trahan and she found GINGY!!!!
He was eating cookies in the library.  Can you believe it.  Good thing we found him.  Ms. A will be calling his dad to come and get him.  What and exciting week!

I want to wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving.  I am so very thankful for each on of you and you precious little ones that you allow me to work with everyday.  It makes each a a true joy!
 This week we have had a great time learning about Thanksgiving.  We have learned about different traditions and about the history of Thanksgiving.
 In math we have continued to work on adding and subtracting concepts.  We have focused on using number lines.   We also learned a fun game called snap it!

 We made special hats for our feast on Thursday afternoon.  We really enjoyed feasting together.
