Welcome to Gingerbread Town!

We began the day by having our vision checked and then finally having a new "number of the day" for our math journals. Today's number was ten and each student had to represent the number ten in as many ways as they could think of such as ten tally marks, ten on a number line, ten pennies, 2 nickles, ten on a clock, etc. We were pleased with the number of representations we were able to come up with. We did leg crunches and bicep curls while chanting our two newest word wall words; then and or. We listened to the magical story of the Polar Express and then took our own imaginary trip to Gingerbread Town. While there, we were introduced to all the gingerbread celebrities that were created at home. Among those present were Hannah Montana, Indiana Jones, Abraham Lincoln, Santa Claus, Mickey Mouse, Batman, Jane Goodall, Michael Jackson, Dale Earnhart Jr., Taylor Swift, Queen Anne, Daphne from Scobby Doo, and Tony Romo! We began planning a story we will write tomorrow about each of our celebrities. After guided reading and learning stations Mrs. Ziegler introduced our new class blog to the students and we are all very anxious to become more involved!
