The students practiced writing letter C with dry erase boards. They also wrote about things that start with letter C in their writing journals (candy, camera, cat, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gingerbread Man came back this week to help us learn! We read two new stories: \u201cThe Gingerbread Baby,\u201d and, \u201cThe Gingerbread Friends,\u201d by Jan Brett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2021\/12\/gingerbread-baby-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2021\/12\/gingerbread-baby-1-1024x853.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-155\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As we read these stories, we talked about who the characters were in the story and what they were doing. We also talked about what the problems were in these books and how they were solved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gingerbread Man helped us with our math skills! The students practiced their counting skills by picking a number card and putting the same number of buttons on their gingerbread man. He also helped us practice patterns. The students made patterns of different sized gingerbread men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/lawsonj\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3391\/2021\/12\/buttons-rotated.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/lawsonj\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3391\/2021\/12\/buttons-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/lawsonj\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3391\/2021\/12\/buttons-rotated.jpg 480w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/lawsonj\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3391\/2021\/12\/buttons-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He also helped us practice science skills! The students have been interested in how to get the Gingerbread Man across the river without falling in the water. The students explored this with tin foil. They experimented with the tin foil by making a boat. The students talked about how they were making the boat and made predictions if the Gingerbread Man would float or sink. They tested their boats by putting the Gingerbread Man and their boats in a bowl of water. We talked about what was happening and how we could improve their boats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/lawsonj\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3391\/2021\/12\/boat-2-rotated.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/lawsonj\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3391\/2021\/12\/boat-2-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/lawsonj\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3391\/2021\/12\/boat-2-rotated.jpg 480w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/lawsonj\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3391\/2021\/12\/boat-2-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LAHC Healthy Living!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>LAHC came this week! They talked about different types of healthy fruits and vegetables to eat. The students looked at different types of fruits and vegetables and talked about how healthy they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fun Weekend Activity Idea!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Practicing patterns is an important math skill for young children! Practicing patterns now helps them identify complex mathematical patterns in later years. Find items around your house to make patterns with (forks, spoons, blocks, coins, etc.). Encourage your child to make a pattern with two items:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zero-to-three.s3.amazonaws.com\/images\/2391\/0395b9b2-afd8-4b13-9ed7-57e73587c0ba-landscape_medium.jpg?1532531474\" alt=\"Patterns With Forks and Spoons \u2022 ZERO TO THREE\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Helpful Links\/Websites:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Cotter Early Childhood Center:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cotter.dearbornschools.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/cotter.dearbornschools.org\/<\/a><\/li><li>Salina Elementary School:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/salinaes.dearbornschools.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/salinaes.dearbornschools.org\/<\/a><\/li><li>Michigan Licensing Rules for Childcare Centers:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/documents\/lara\/BCAL_PUB_8_3_16_523999_7.pdf\">https:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/documents\/lara\/BCAL_PUB_8_3_16_523999_7.pdf<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Published by&nbsp;Mrs. Lawson&nbsp;on&nbsp;December 10, 2021 Hello Room 107 Families, We have had such a fun week of learning!
