This month we are reading The Gingerbread Man and all the different versions of that story. Our co-op student Gabi made a gingerbread door for the classroom which the students decorated with their own gingerbread girls and boys. We had a class vote between the two classes on whether we wanted a Christmas tree to decorate or get some big boxes and make a gingerbread house for the class. Can you guess which one won the vote? Stay tuned for more pictures.
We have a classroom elf that is keeping an eye on things here and reporting to Santa. Every day the students scour the classroom trying to find out where he is and what he is up to. He is a tricky one. He likes to hide in the tree, drink orange juice and read books, especially Christmas stories.
Students are enjoying the Christmas themed centres in the classroom too. They are making "gingerbread cookies" with the gingerbread play dough, creating Christmas cards, exploring the seasonal sensory bin and experimenting with capacity and buoyancy in the festive coloured water.
