World travelers, and gingerbread bakers!

We were world travelers this week... exploring different ways of celebrating winter holidays!

We started off the week by traveling to Sweden to celebrate St. Lucia’s Day.  We got our passports, boarded the airplane, and flew to Sweden to learn the history of the day and make our own St. Lucia’s crowns!




 Next we traveled to Mexico with our Book Buddies!  We read with our Buddies, and ate Torta De Roscas, looking for the baby Jesus inside the cake!



















We made poinsettia's after listening to the Legend of the Poinsettia by Tomie de Paola, and decorated our Christmas tree for Success Night! 







The kids loved reading with our Kindergarten Grandma, Ms. Carol, by the fireplace! 



We delivered our letters to Santa to the front office to take to the post office!  We are hoping for letters back from Santa or his elves this week! 😉



We were so excited for the Christmas concert!  The kids sang so well, and afterwards we enjoyed touring the school for Success night and a hot cocoa bar!







  

We did a unit this week on comparing gingerbread stories, and learned how to use a venn diagram to compare! 


On Friday we made gingerbread cookies!  Everything was working out great until someone peeked!  They must have jumped out of the oven, because when we went to the kitchen to take them out of the oven, they were gone!!!  We chased them all over the school, following their clues, and finally found them having circle time in our room!  They were reading gingerbread stories!
