It's time once again for. . .
For the past 3 years now, four delicious little friends have invaded our classroom for the month of December. They are a playful bunch and we come into our classroom each morning eager to see what they were up to the night before. Here are a few snapshots from last year:
 |
| They got into our bank cash register and left us chocolate money! |
 |
| They played with LEGOS one night...all night long! |
 |
| They tried to go fishing in our class pet's fish tank! |
 |
They found a way to go sledding indoors! I'm always on the lookout for Gingerbread paraphernalia and was luckily at a Hobby Lobby this past July when they were having a Christmas in July sale and I stocked up! And this past weekend I found this cake mold at Michael's:   I bought a Gingerbread cake/cookie mix and tried it out. . .and it was DEElicious! I think on Friday morning the G-friends will be using our toaster oven when the kids come in and we'll do a writing/baking lesson with this "present" from them. |
I found this gingerbread shaped journal at a CARRS store, randomly, the other night and the G-friends will use it to write us notes each day.
And we, in turn, will write about their antics in our special Gingerbread Journals.
I absolutely LOVE the month of December with the G-friends. This is also the month of doing a lot of AIMSWeb assessing in math and reading and so any chance I get to infuse fun into my classroom (whether it goes along with curriculum or not) I DO IT! Hey, Nike's slogan works for me: Just Do It!
