Over the last few weeks, our class has read many variations of the Gingerbread Man story. We read about the Gingerbread Boy, Gingerbread Girl, and Gingerbread Baby. Our hallways are filled with large watercolor gingerbread cookies running away from a fox. Today all three kindergarten classes made gingerbread cookies. Chef Danielle made gingerbread cookie dough for us. We rolled, cut out, and decorated our gingerbread cookies. Tomorrow, we will have a yummy snack! Thank you, Chef Danielle.

Salamander Search
Kindergarteners searched under leaves and logs for salamanders, worms, and other critters. It was surprising how many things were hiding in the forest today. We had a great time working together to discover the living creatures making their homes in the woods.

Scientists at Work
Did you know that nature is full of different colors? Kindergarteners discovered that they could find something in nature that matched almost every paint chip card they were given. Mushrooms and bark were shades of white. Leaves were shades of orange, red, yellow, brown, and green. We even found a variety of colors in sticks, moss, and bark. These young scientists also searched for leaves in different stages of decay. They noticed that they could see through leaves that were old and decaying. Some of the leaves even reminded students of spider webs. Nature and Kindergarteners are amazing!

Living and Nonliving
Kindergarteners explored living and nonliving things in the Neighborhood Forest. Students searched the forest and sketched the things they found. This was the beginning of our organisms unit. As these scientists observe and research, they will discover the needs of plants and animals.
