Gingerbread Friends!

Today was Gingerbread day! We did so many fun things today! We worked on a special Christmas gift for our parents, learned how to find the main idea of a story, and we measured gingerbread cookies and made a graph with our gingerbread cookies! We also found our elf, Alvin stuck on our classroom flag. Apparently, he was parachuting in from the North Pole, and his parachute got stuck on the flag. Oops...so much for a smooth landing! :)

Now...it's gingerbread cookie time! Oh my goodness...I cannot even tell you how excited they were to get a gingerbread cookie. :) We enjoyed our these cookies more than you will ever know. First, we measured the different parts of his body: his head, arms, legs, arm span, and height. Then, we each took one bite of our cookie, and finally we graphed the part that most people bit off. In our class, most people took a bite out of his head. :) We all decided that the reason behind this was because his head was the biggest part, so they wanted to get the biggest bite they could! :) For some reason, they really thought I was only going to let them have 1 bite, so almost all of them took the biggest bite EVER! :) So funny!

I will leave you with our sneaky elf! This is where we found him today...I think he might need to take some sky diving lessons and learn how to land with a parachute! :)

We have had so much fun this week! I cannot wait for tomorrow! It's Grinch Day, and we have so many fun things planned!
