Thought I'd share some of my Pre-K's projects for December....
We celebrated December 2nd the day we were all officially 5 with a cupcake party and sang ourselves Happy Birthday and made a traveling book about all the things we could do now that we were 5!
We made "Reindeer Sandwiches" with half a piece of bread, raisin eyes, maraschino cherry nose, and pretzel stick antlers
Reindeer hands...bow for the girls
We cooked Gingerbread on the skillet with 2 tbl. gingerbread mix / 1 tbl. water and mixed with a popsicle stick...pre-labeled cups with names
Our gingerbread man escaped and left us clues...we made a "Wanted" sign for him
tear-art Xmas trees with tissue papers lights
book jackets made into a lovely banner
brown play-doh / beads and buttons and gingerbread man cookie cutters was a great center
What part of the gingerbread man did you eat first graphing
scolding our gingerbread man not to run away again....like my $1 bin gingerbread man headband
I took pictures of the kids with a Santa hat and a poinsetta for their parent's Christmas card cover
How cute are these????
Encouraged kids to bring in their Christmas cards to decorate our door
My gift to the kids: A "shower board" from Home Depot ($12) cut into 32 12"x12" square with a dry erase marker. If you're nice the people at HD will cut for you for free. Amazing cheap gift that lets kids practice printing / tic tac toe / drawing for years to come. I still use my set of 30 I made myself my first year of teaching 9 years ago.
My pinterest inspired Christmas card holder made for a total of $5. Board cut and mini clothes pins glued on. I LOVED the display in my house and after Christmas I peeled off the contact strips I put it up with and put in storage.
I love your Gingerbread hunt activity! Would you mind sharing the poems you did for your gingerbread hunt? I would love to do this with my class next week!! Thank you!
