What an exciting week diving
into our Gingerbread thematic unit! We
read a variety of gingerbread stories including: The Gingerbread Cowboy, The
Gingerbread Girl, The Gingerbread Boy, and The Gingerbread Friends. The PK kiddos enjoyed these stories and liked
predicting the ending of each story!
Here is a look at our week!
Language Arts- We read a story called, “Where is the Gingerbread Man.” The kiddos cut out mini gingerbread and
listened to the positional words in the story.
They had to correctly glue the gingerbread under, over, in between, next
to and above different characters in the story. We really focused on following
directions and our listening skills! They did a great job and colored when they
were finished.
Math- The
children counted pom poms with one to one correspondence and added these pieces
to their gingerbread houses!
Art- The
children decorated gingerbreads with various materials such as; pom poms,
sequins, pipe cleaners, foam shapes, and markers. Also, they made snowman out of shaving cream and glue and had fun decorating.
Journals-
The prompt was, ‘What would you do if you were a gingerbread man?’ The kiddos worked on adding shapes to their
pictures. There were many stories and they
were sure to include the fox from the stories we read.
Circle time-
We met our zoo friends Pee Wee Penguin and Queeny Quail. Ask your child what these friends say! Also, we love to move our bodies and sing and
dance to different Go noodle songs.
