Catching Up!!!

December was a busy month for us in room 138!!  I got a little behind with the blogging, but here's to getting back on track!!

In December we . . . 

Read a lot of books!

Compared and contrasted five versions of the Gingerbread Boy and ended our little mini unit by decorating and eating our very own Gingerbread people!  Yummy!!!

Look at them all waiting so patiently!

And of course we had to make a few gifts for our parents!  The last series of pictures are of our Little Elves Workshop.  We had six centers set up each with it's own craft.

In a nutshell, that was our month!

Hope you had a great Holiday season!
