The morning kids had the choice to work on Christmas crafts during centers.

Red and green bracelets…

On a Gingerbread Hunt!

We started our day by coloring and cutting out gingerbread men.

We placed the gingerbread men on a magic cookie sheet…

As a class, we walked up to the kitchen and the cooks put our cookies in the oven!

 

Mrs. Sexton read The Gingerbread Baby while I checked on our cookies…but the cookies were gone!!!  The cooks said they saw all the cookies running out of the kitchen but the little cookie men were too quick to catch! 

 

So we went on a hunt!  We checked in the office…in the library…we asked everyone we saw…

…And guess where we found them!  Right back in the kitchen.

And they had turned into REAL gingerbread cookies!

So we did the only logical thing we could think to do…We decorated them…

The Night Before Christmas

Today we read The Night Before Christmas and pointed out the rhyming words!

DSC03054

Then each kid colored their own book!  If you don’t already have a copy of The Night Before Christmas , you can read this one with your child!  The Peanuts were really excited about it.
