Gingerbread Math







Today we did Gingerbread Math. We each took a bite of our gingerbread man cookie and then graphed the results. Earlier in the day we made puppets and performed the play The Gingerbread Man. It was a yummy activity!

Israel

We are getting to the end of Christmas Around the World. Our class learned about Hanukkah. Hanukkah lasts eight days and one candle is lit each night. We made our own Stars of David and dreidels to play with.

Mexico

Mexico was a lot of fun to learn about. Mexico is in South America. We read the book The Legend of the Poinsettia and made our our poinsettias. Ms. Garza brought us a traditional Mexican sweet bread called Conchas. It was yummy!

Our first continent was Europe. We learned about the Christmas traditions in Germany. One thing we learned was that we received our tradition of Christmas trees and gingerbread from Germany.
