December Happenings

It's been way too long since our last classroom update!  We have had a fun and busy December.
Here are a few highlights from our month!

Gingerbread VIP Day
Thanks for taking time to help us build gingerbread houses!
Everyone did a spectacular job on their house.

We listened to the story The Polar Express and enjoyed pajama day.  We also boarded the Polar Express train and watched part of the movie.

SANTA visits Osgood!

 He's here!!

 Waiting patiently... :)

Singing songs as Santa walks around.

And, from my crazy family to yours...

Merry Christmas and best wishes for the HAPPIEST NEW YEAR!

News from the Week

We were BUSY Little Learners this week!  We talked about our five senses and used The Gingerbread Man book to help us describe gingerbread cookies.  We used our sense of sight to notice the features of a gingerbread cookie such as arms, legs, head, buttons, eyes, and mouth.  

Our sense of smell told us that gingerbread cookies have a spicy scent.  

We did a fun activity using QR codes to use our sense of hearing to guess who quoted the Gingerbread Man when he said, "Run, run as fast as you can!  You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!"  

Can you guess who said it?

When we used our sense of touch we noticed that a gingerbread cookie feels smooth, crispy, and bumpy.  Finally, we used our sense of taste and ate a gingerbread cookie!  Ask your child...

We also had our gingerbread house VIP day on Friday and had a great time!  Thank you so much for all of the candy donations!  The houses were beautiful and I'm sure quite tasty as well!  I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did!

Thanks for a great week!

Next Week:

Miss Guhlke is in charge!  She has some fun things planned!

Please remember that library books are due back to school on Thursday, Dec. 10.

Let me know if you have any questions.  :)  Have a great weekend!
