Please return all library books to school today. Friday 12/18 Holiday Parties (10:30am and 2:30pm) ~Feel free to join us for a great time! Monday, December 21, 2015 – Friday, January 1, 2016 is Winter Break Gingerbread Measurement! We combined our gingerbread unit with math! This week the kids created gingerbread kid glyphs. They colored various parts of their gingerbread kids to represent information about themselves. For example, if they are 5 years old they colored the buttons red but if they are 6 years old they colored the buttons green. We sorted our group of gingerbread kids in lots of different ways. The kids also got to find their height using gingerbread kids as a nonstandard unit of measure. They drew pictures to show how we measured our height with gingerbread kids. Check out the picture to see thinking in action! à PLEASE HELP SCOTTISH CORNERS SUPPORT THE W ELCOME W AREHOUSE BY PROVIDING NEW COATS, SCARVES, GLOVES/MITTENS TO CHILDREN IN NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY The SCE Giving Tree Easy as 1, 2, 3 1.
