Willow Room: MWF

We are talking about "the gingerbread man" and we read "The gingerbread boy"

We had our first snow today too so we talked about snow- our question today was "Do you like the snow?" and at our 2nd circle we asked the children to tell us what they know about snow- it is posted outside the classroom.

We made gingerbread boys with puffy paint ( a salt and flour mixture mixed into the paint). We used pastel paint and it looks like frosting.

We had some color pegs out, letters and magnets and Mr. Potato head out on the tables today. Thge children are loving our bakery. We have corn flour in our sensory table.

We have minty green playdough.

Maple Room-

We are talking about the gingerbread man this week. We read "The gingerbread man story"

We made gingerbread men out of Cinnamon and applesauce. We took our gingerbread men down to the oven to bake, but when we went back to get them out, the biggest gingerbread man had escaped from the oven just like in the story. We went on a search around the building and found clues, but could not find the gingerbread man until we got back to our classroom- he was hiding in our room!

we had gingerbread shapes at the easel.

we practiced our songs for our holiday party.
