Gingerbread week

Our room sure smelled good this week as we painted, created and cooked all things Gingerbread. 
Painting our gingerbread friends with paint and cinnamon 
Working hard to count Christmas symbols and find the correct number 
We made gingerbread ornaments with applesauce and cinnamon. It was a bit of a sticky mess which made it fun! 
 
 
We love our new light box we bought with trike-a-thon money. 
Rolling the dice, counting the dots and using one to one correspondence with bingo dotters to get Santa to his toy workshop 
Pipe cleaners and beads made very colorful snowflakes
We love using watercolors to paint 
We used our new letter bean bags to match up letters with a tossing game 
 
Our gingerbread creations drying out near the window
Love it! 
We can read all of our color words and 4 new sight words. Today we wrote them out and are putting them onto a word ring to keep in our bags for practice. 
Instead of decorating gingerbread houses this year, we decorated Christmas trees-still super yummy but a little easier to build. :) 
 
It looks like we all enjoyed it!  :)
