Today was awesome! Thanks to everyone who has offered Gingerbread activities. We have read The Gingerbread Man, The Gingerbread Boy, The Gingerbread Baby, and The Matzo Ball Boy. We will read The Gingerbread Girl and Stop That Pickle! when they arrive from the Bookmobile. We will read The Jalapeno Man, Gingerbread Pirates, and The Gingerbread Girl Goes Animal Crackers when they arrive. I have ordered them for my classroom to go along with all the wonderful activities compiled from blogging. We practiced synonyms, antonyms, sequencing, and a host of other activities today from blogs and the units I've bought. Thank you, thank you to everyone-for freebies and for sharing on TpT and Teachers Notebook. This has been a wonderful December day.... Yes, my students are seriously excited about the holidays, but that excitement fueled some fabulous learning experiences today for my students. I can't ask for anything more! :)
