This past week was our Gingerbread Week. We read 5 different gingerbread stories, compared and contrasted them, and did a few fun activities. Here is our CLAPS (Characters, Location, Action, Problem, Solution) chart which helped us compare each of the stories throughout the week.
They ALL loved Gingerbread Baby the best!
We made the gingerbread glyphs that I got from Denise at Sunny Days in Second Grade!
We also did a ginger taste test graphing activity which I got from Tales of a Teacherista! I didn't get any pictures of the actual tasting, but the kids loved it. We tried ginger ale, gingerbread flavored marshmallows, and ginger snaps. They could not get enough ginger ale!!!! And they detested the ginger snaps. We had fun. :)
Okay, go link up with Farley!

Oh Holly, you are so lucky you have Room Parents...I wouldn't know what to do if I had one of those! ha! In my 9 years of teaching, I think I've had like 2 actual room moms that did stuff for our class...and one of them still comes to me, even though I haven't had her girls in a few years now...
ReplyDeleteI have two room parents - for our Halloween party, one got in touch with me and coordinated all the food, drinks, plates, and cups and also planned one of the stations as a cute craft. The other just showed up with punch. Then I had a ton of parents come (which I wasn't expecting) and I had like 4 sets of cupcakes and people wandering around everywhere, ahh!!
ReplyDeleteI heart Eggos!!!!! What a great graphic organizer! I love it! Thanks for sharing! I pinned it :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!
