Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from a few of my fellow kinder teachers! (it was also Grinch Day!)

Gingerbread Man Hunt

For the last few weeks we have been reading many different stories about gingerbread. (The Gingerbread Man, The Gingerbread Girl, The Gingerbread Cowboy, etc) While reading The Gingerbread Pirates, a special note fell out of the book and sent us on a Gingerbread Hunt. It led us to the library, the nurse's office, the playground (in which the clue had somehow disappeared!), the cafeteria and then the classroom. When we arrived in the classroom there were special treats for us! The kids were super excited and enjoyed every minute of it. There were some very create responses of where the Gingerbread man went. It was a great afternoon! Sad part...my camera battery died, and I forgot to take my phone on the hunt, so I only had 1 picture.

Puppet Show

Free through the Arizona Puppet Theater and a Local Dentist, we got to watch a puppet show about Pirates and the Tooth Fairy. It was all about brushing and eating healthy foods. The kids LOVED it!!

Thanksgiving Fun

We had a fun day at school before Thanksgiving Break. We did rotations with 2 other classrooms. It's fun challenging the students to make a new friend. They get excited when they see their new friend at the playground. We also got to make turkey cookies! I assigned a few parents some of the supplies, and I had a few supplies. I really put 2 parents on a hunt looking for candy corn. Who would have thought they only sell it as a seasonal item!

We had fun CLEANING our tables with shaving cream since it was the end of the month.
