Recap of the Week!

This week was filled with driedel spinning, gingerbread reading and writing, and lots of conferences! We began our week learning about the game played during Hanukkah, dreidel. We loved practicing our spins and playing with real pennies!

       We continued our Gingerbread unit. We decorated gingerbread people for our door, and read lots of stories such as Gingerbread Girl, Gingerbread Girl Goes Animal Crackers, Gingerbread Cowboy, and Gingerbread Baby.

Mrs. Lapolla, a reading teacher at Roxbury, stopped by to share her favorite gingerbread story, The Gingerbread Friends! Here we are enjoying the story on our new, beautiful rug!

In writing, we used our home gingerbread project to inspire our very own version of the Gingerbread Boy! We used a story element organizer to draw our characters and setting of the story. 

Yanni was the Celebrity of the Week. He shared a action figure bouncy ball from the dentist; pretty cool dentist!

Looking ahead…
