Some of us liked the smells some of us didn't. We talked about what are favourite smells are. Ask me what my favourite smell is. In the morning the junior High elves made us pancakes. We are so lucky to have junior high friends. We talked about different endings for The Gingerbread Man story. They were very funny. Can you come up with a different ending for the story?

Christmas Time Memories
I was so proud of our KIndergarten Rock Stars. A big thank you to all the talented guitar makers out there. It was a memorable night. Today we made a paper chain that we can count down the sleeps til Christmas. We also made an ice cream cone tree. The Gingerbread Man sent us an email. We are starting to look for words in his message. The first word we were looking for is YOU. It is a word that we have to memorize. It was a sweet day in Kindergarten.

Making Gingerbread Men
Today we had lots of fun at wondertime. Some of us made gingerbread men. In the morning Mrs. Kitson showed us an email The Gingerbread Man sent. He said he had fun running around the school and meeting children. He did not tell us where he is now. He sent us a gingerbread man stuffy. It was funny because he was a chef gingerbread man. We practiced our letter sounds and made words with the vowel a. We noticed that GingerbreadMAN is a letter we could make. We could write man. We practiced printing other words with "an". We are bringing home a Gingerbread man book. We can practice reading the "an" words. You can read the chant with me. We practiced subitizing. (seeing a number without counting). We are learning to group objects together so we don't have to always count. We played a gingerbread subitizing game. We had a gingy kind of day in Kindergarten.
Teacher Note: We will be taking out rhyming books on Mondays and Learn about the world books on Wednesdays.

Where Did The Gingerbread Man Go?
Today Mrs. Kitson read us two different Gingerbread Man stories. We talked about how they were the same and how they were different from each other. We made our own gingerbread dough and cut out our own cookies. Mrs.Kitson made a big gingerbread cookie to share with Mrs. C. In the afternoon we went to get our cookies out of the oven and the big one was gone. We searched all over the school , but we couldn't find the gingerbread cookie. At the end of the day we decorated our cookies. They were yummy. It was a mysterious and delicious day in Kindergarten.
