Gingerbread Theme

Welcome back! We hope that everyone had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving break. This week we will begin a theme about "Gingerbread". During the week we will read several different versions of The Gingerbread Man and will compare them and discuss the similarities and differences. We will make our own gingerbread man, woman, boy, or girl and decorate them with various art materials. We will also taste a gingerbread man cookie and after taking one bite, we will graph which "part" we ate first. 
If you have any gingerbread storybooks at home that you can send in to share, we would greatly appreciate it. I will make sure that it gets returned at the end of the week.
Please remember to send in your I Care form by November 30th. We also hope that everyone will be able to join us at the WinterFest on December 3rd. This will be a fun day of games, food, and our yearly silent basket auction.
Next week I will be sending home parent teacher conference slips indicating when I would like to meet for our first conference. If you know of a specific date and time (between 2:30-3:00) that you can meet, please send me a note and I will try to schedule you during that time. This is a time when we can discuss how your child is progressing socially and academically. Conferences are scheduled in 15 minute increments, so please be on time.
Thank you and have a great week!
