Today we read two gingerbread stories, Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett and The Gingerbread Girls Goes Animal Crackers by Lisa Ernst.  Then we made gingerbread cookies which we decorated and ate for dessert after lunch.  It was a very exciting day. We are also blessed with a new addition to our class this week.  My mother and her dog, Gracie, are going to visit in our class for the rest of the week.  It's nice to have and extra pair of hands to help with crafts and baking projects and a little furry vacuum cleaner to clean up any food droppings.

Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah!

The wise owls are brimming with Christmas cheer!!!  They are anxiously awaiting our visit with Santa on December 15.  We are looking for a few drivers to help us get the early learners to the Dumas Center downtown on that day.  We are leaving campus no later than 9:30 and will return by 11:30.  Please let me know if you can help.
