The Gingerbread Man

This week our class studied lots of different versions of The Gingerbread Man.  We read 5 different stories including two versions of The Gingerbread Man, The Ninjabread Man, The Gingerbread Girl & The Gingerbread Baby!

We worked hard to retell each story and explain our favorite part.  We also talked about similarities and differences between Gingerbread texts.  As part of our Fun Friday, we completed two culminating activities:  Students created rip and glue Gingerbread people and also helped teachers to make their very own Gingerbread cookies!

Labeling

Today we began our labeling unit. We learned that a label is a word that tells what something is. We decided to label our teacher, Mrs. Rogerson! Look how silly she looks with all of the labels :)

Working with Partners

Yesterday we began Unit 2 in Readers Workshop.  We are learning about being "Powerful Partners." Here is our Anchor Chart to help us remember the steps:

Kindergarteners were kind, patient, helpful partners.  They took turns reading, talking about the illustrations and counting how many words are on each page. Look how much fun we had!

Fall Fun

We have been having so much fun this week!  Kindergarten Scientists made predictions about a pumpkin including "How many seeds are inside?" and "Will it sink or float?" Students asked lots of questions and then tested their ideas. We observed a pumpkin and noticed details like the lines on the outside and then got to count all of the seeds on the inside! We compared our predictions with what we discovered from our investigation. We had 430 seeds in our pumpkin!

Students got to get messy with shaving cream!  We practiced printing lower case letters in the shaving cream and had so much fun!
