December 4th - 7th, 2023: Gingerbread!

Happy Friday, Firefly Families!

This week we did all things GINGERBREAD! We created and decorated our very own gingerbread house in the reading arch, made gingerbread playdough, responded to the journal prompt, "Where did your gingerbread baby run?", measured holiday items with gumdrops, went on a number hunt around the classroom where we had to match numeral to quantity and write the number on our sheet. We read the books This is Our House, The Gingerbread GirlGingerbread Baby, Gingerbread Friends, and a "Five Little Gingerbread" poem. Our Handwriting Without Tears letter of the week was B and our character word for December is CARING.


Reminders:

*Firefly Winter Party & LECC Pajama Day: Tuesday, December 19th

*LECC Early Release!: Wednesday, December 20th

*Winter Break: Thursday, December 21st through Wednesday, January 3rd (we'll see you on the 4th!)
