Gingerbread Houses

I want to thank all of the parents who sent in goodies to decorate gingerbread houses.  Everyone had so much fun!  I especially want to thank Elizabeth Moore, Betsy Ferry and Amanda Rea for making the frosting, we could not have made our houses without you!

      

     

     

    

Gingerbread

Last week we started our gingerbread fun.  We read several different versions of the Gingerbread Man, we made gingerbread cookies and on Friday we created gingerbread people to hang in the hallway.

Non Fiction

Last week, Room 11 compared fiction and non fiction texts by cutting and sorting books from an old book order.  We then spent a few days talking about non fiction conventions and how they help us as readers.  Students also partnered up and did a conventions hunt through non fiction texts.  This is always a favorite genre for second graders!
