You would NOT believe what happened today!!!! Our class has been 'studying' gingerbread books for a few weeks now we have read several different gingerbread books with another classroom. Yesterday, we decided to make our very own gingerbread man to eat as a snack. So today, we decorated the gingerbread man but...shucks time for recess. We took a few precautions by closing and locking the door. When we came back....You guessed it...HE WAS GONE!!!! There was frosting on the door handle, frosting on the desks, and sprinkles and candy all over the floor! The kids ate it up; absolutely loved it. We are now on the search for our lost gingerbread man. Tomorrow we are going to brainstorm ideas of how to find him, writing an announcement, making wanted posters etc. It was so fun to see the kids excitement and of course a fun, creative way to get students to love reading and writing! :)
Secondly, I placed my first book order tonight! My coop. teacher is generous enough to allow me to take over the book order process. It is great to have the chance to have this responsibility to see how the process works, understand the 'behind the scenes' time and work of a book order and of course the benefits!!!! With this order, I was able to get $20 in free books with teacher coupons and I earned 1047 bonus points to spend toward free books!!!! :)
Overall, today was a great day I did a fun writing activity using shaving cream and the kids loved it...got a little messy of course but sometimes messy is fun! I'm looking forward to the weekend as I hope to catch back up and hopefully try to get ahead on some planning and organization!
Night! :)
