This week in gingerbread land we went on an ABC letter hunt, worked on recognizing shapes with gingerbread bingo, put gingerbread puzzles together, practiced positional concepts with little gingerbread men, strung ABC letters, traced the letter G for gingerbread on sand paper using a candy cane, answered questions about our stories, compared and contrasted our stories, and read a take home story that required us to draw our self portrait. We signed in to which was our favorite gingerbread story, then counted the votes and compared our columns. We practiced letter recognition with our chant...Think, think as fast as you can, who as the match to this gingerbread man?
Our letter this week was the letter P for pig, pizza and PJ's. We used wooden strips to make the letter P and the letter D.
The hippos made a little gingerbread house for our gingerbread man. We put the gingerbread man in the house. Since he is so sneaky and runs away we decided to trap him in. We each thought of an item to block him from escaping! The next day he ran away. He knocked down all the the items we used to barricade the house. We did find him! He was sitting on the shelf with the hippo!! Oh boy! (goals: making decisions independently, using language, confident behavior, participating as a member of a group, counting, recognizing letters, positional concepts)
Thank you parents for such a wonderful party! We appreciate all you do for us!!
