Christmas Concert Night

Thank you to everyone for coming out to join us in our Christmas
Concert celebration! The students worked really hard to learn their songs and did a super job singing for the audience! The gymnasium is never a great job for pictures but here are a few from our night!

The boys came looking so handsome for the night!

 Waiting to head down to the gym!

 

The girls looked beautiful! I love the fancy dresses!

 

Heading down to sing! A few last minute instructions:)

Mr. Elf couldn't wait to hear the Kindergarten Kids sing!

So exciting to share our songs!

Waiting when you're 5:)

There Was A Little Baby!

Wishing all our Kinder families a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year! Thank you for the lovely gifts and wishes! We are blessed to have such wonderful families in our class.

Travel safe over the holidays and we can't wait to see you again on January 6th!

Gingerbread Pirates!

What a fun and busy day we had! I forgot my camera at home so no tweeting happened! Read on to find out about our day....

We did a new experiment with gingerbread today. Mr. Elf wanted to know what would happen to a gingerbread cookie if it touched the water... because in our stories the gingerbread character is always trying to stay out of the water. We predicted that it would get; soggy, smooshy, mushy, shrink, disappear, squishy, gummy, smaller and maybe stay the same! 

We put our gingerbread in cool water... not hot because that might make them disappear quickly 

First, we noticed that they floated and then quickly sank to the bottom, The angel gingerbread did half and half. 

Right away we noticed some changes....

Here they are after 15 minutes, the color is coming out and they are turning light.

Here they are about an hour later... they are breaking apart, floating and lots of color has come out. 

Here they are at the end of the day! They are just pieces of gingerbread cookies. We found out that gingerbread cookies fall apart in water. Good thing that gingerbread girl could lasso the fox with her licorice hair!!

In the afternoon, we decorated some gingerbread men! 

B said they were delicious!

Look at the licorice hair, just like the Gingerbread Girl!

 A little gingerbread picnic!

It's playdough gingerbread man! He later turned into a peg leg gingerbread!

After reading the Gingerbread Pirates the students created their own Gingerbread masterpiece. We have so many peg legs, even on the girls! 

Mr. Elf slept the entire day away but I am sure he was watching and listening with his eyes closed! I hope he remembers to tell Santa about the science experiment! 

Don't forget Christmas Concert on Thursday night @ 6:30. Looking forward to sharing our songs with our families! 

The K team!

PS The gingerbread marshmallow men are still there! They never did disappear.
