Hour of Code Week and Gingerbread Stories

 This week is National Hour of Code week in the United States and we are so lucky to have such an amazing Digital Lead Teacher, Mrs. Eggett, to help support us in using coding in our classrooms, even in Kindergarten!  

 We had two amazing 5th Grade Leaders help guide us through coding and using Dash the Robot!

 We also learned how to write our own codes!

 We look forward to more lessons with Mrs. Eggett on coding and using Dash the Robot!

 This week we started reading all about all kinds of different Gingerbread stories.  So far, we have read, "The Gingerbread Man" "The Gingerbread Baby" "The Gingerbread Cowboy" and "The Ninjabread Man."  We have really LOVED reading each of the Gingerbread stories and can't wait to continue next week with the finale being making Gingerbread Houses after our Holiday meal next Wednesday!

 Since we have been working on Opinion Writing, I had my amazing writers write about what type of Gingerbread Cookie they would be if they could be any type of Gingerbread Cookie.  I LOVED their creative ideas and adorable illustrations!

 To go along with our adorable writing assignments we also made pretty cute Gingerbread boys and girls to hang with our stoires!  I think they are pretty amazing!

Also, just a reminder TOMORROW is our field trip to Asheville Community Theater to see their performance of "Holidays Around the World"!  We are very excited!
