Holiday fun!

We did some fun holiday activities in our room yesterday!

We played a math gingerbread man game and got to complete him as we rolled the correct sums.
We celebrated the winter solstice by reading our books in the dark (with our flashlights).
We decorated real gingerbread cookies (made by Mrs. Streb....yummy) and got to eat them!

Take a peek at us in action!













































I'll leave you with this joke:
Why did the gingerbread man go to the doctors?
He was feeling crummy.

Thanks to all the parents who donated to our Gingerbread decorating party! We couldn't have done it without you!
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and vacation! 
Happy New Year!
