Please remember that Wednesday is a late start day. School starts at 11:30 and we will dismiss at 3:40. The kids will eat lunch as soon as they arrive at school.
Today and tomorrow are the last days to order from Art Works. These projects are a treasure that you will enjoy for years to come!
Between now and winter break, we will do a number of activities around The Gingerbreead Man. We will read several versions of the story and talk about how they are the same or differ. Our unit will culminate with decorating gingerbread houses. These are not edible houses. Please send in any Halloween candy you are finished with. We will use it to decorate the gingerbread houses.
The picture below shows the Thinking Maps we did after reading The Gingerbread Man. The first is a Brace Map which helps us think about the parts of something. In this case we used it to think about the characters in the story. The other Map is a Bubble Map. We use it to think about how we would describe something. In case we are describing the Gingerbread Man in the story.
