Candyland!

Yesterday was a fantastic day! In the morning, we worked on "How-To" writing pieces. We practiced by creating together, "How to Make an Easy Gingerbread House". This was quite helpful when it came to actually making our gingerbread houses (more on that adventure later!).

After recess, Elasti-Girl came to 5M, along with the members of the Official Committee. The Committee listened to the Incredible science presentations. It seems too difficult to eliminate any one of the body systems- they are all FAR too important!

Gingerbread house making was a definite highlight of the day. One of our goals for the activity was to apply the Golden Rule in "thinking of others before ourselves". It was encouraging to see how well students shared their candy treasures- they did a fine job and we had a lot of fun together.

Here are a few pictures, including a picture of our "Pop Can Carolers" craft that we finished last week. Thanks for your help in sending supplies!
