Gingerbread Celebration

INQUIRE this weekend, what Gingerbread story was your child's favorite.  This morning we voted and used a ballot to mark our favorite story that was read.  Although we've been reading a range of gingerbread stories, five were available to choose from. Students then completed some response to writing prompts about their favorite characters and why they chose the book they did.  In math, students worked on creating a growing chart with gingerbread men.  INQUIRE with your child how many gingerbread men were displayed on it? Can they count backwards from that number?  This afternoon, after rolling out and baking gingerbread cookies, we tallied the votes and determinted, "Gingerbread Girl" was the most popular story in our class...but not by much!  Check out the votes below!  We enjoyed a "baby" gingerbread cookie this afternoon while hearing the story of what happened when Mrs. Webb (kitchen worker) and myself took out the cookies.  INQUIRE with your child what happened!  What a fun day in Kindergarten!
