On Tuesday we had a ball decorating two large gingerbread houses and individual gingerbread girls. Thank you to our wonderful parents who helped us get the houses decorated!
On Wednesday we took a field trip to the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall for a performance of "Ellington's Nutcracker". We heard selections from Duke Ellington's re-imagined Nutcracker and enjoyed performances by dance group, Step Afrika. The girls enjoyed it all. The ride on the big yellow school bus was a hit as well!
The rest of the week was spent thinking about where our gingerbread girls would run if they got loose in the school and talking about patterns. We created patterned mittens to decorate our classroom for the coming winter and also created individual pattern mitten books.
Whew! There is never a dull moment in kindergarten! Don't be surprised if your daughters are more exhausted than usual!
