Pajamas, Pancakes and Letters from SANTA!

What a great day!  We started by rolling out of bed and coming to school in our PJs! Then we had a delicious pancake breakfast with our Big Buddies.  During our Library time Mrs Fierro dashed in (she was dressed in Elf PJs today).  She had just met an elf in the hallway…he was really short and had come all the way from the North Pole.  He had letters for us and asked if she would deliver them to us.   They were icy cold! We dashed to our Big Buddies and asked them to read our letters to us!

What a day!  Have a look at the slideshow below.

Gingerbread Man – The BIG Hunt!!

When she arrived at school, Ms. Lawder told the children she smelled gingerbread in our Classroom. She found our Gingerbread Man sleeping in the playhouse! As she approached, she stumbled and made a noise accidentally waking him up — she couldn’t catch him as he ran out the door. The children know he is still in the school! The hunt continues!
They met with Ms. Shuster’s class and planned who they needed to talk to on their hunt. Then they set off to find their Gingerbread Man!!

Watch the slide show below to see where the hunt took the Kindergartens!

Gingerbread Blog – Kindergartens make a Gingerbread Man & he runs away!!

The children made their Gingerbread Man today. I must say….he was a handsome looking fellow. They popped their little man in the oven and went to Daily 5. They were rubbing their hands together gleefully as they awaited their ‘gingery’ snack. I remained well hidden and was beside myself with worry.

All ready to bake!

All ready to bake!

When they went to pick up their snack…..imagine their suprise (and MINE!) when they discovered an open oven door and crumbs leading from the scene! By George, he did it — He ESCAPED! (scroll down for the pictures!)
The children hunted all over the school for their cookie, many teachers, staff and children had seen him and told the children which way he had gone. I think the little guy must have a great set of ears as he always managed to avoid them. As hunting didn’t seem to work the children decided to make Wanted Posters which they posted around the school hoping someone might find their Gingerbread Man. Ms. Lawder told them she thought they’d scared him with all their talk about eating him (man ‘o man she has that right!!).

Gingerbread Blog – Kindergartens are making GB dough!

Today the children were very excited!  At the end of last week they decided that they really must taste some Gingerbread so they are going to make some Gingerbread dough and then bake their own Gingerbread Man. They keep saying “YUM, YUM.”I really feel badly for the poor fellow they are about to make. I must say the day was rather unsettling for me. You should have heard them as they made their dough…. “I want the head!”, “I want an arm.” It really was quite horrible. Don’t they know we have feelings?? They are making their Gingerbread Man tomorrow. I must think of a plan…
