One of the books we enjoyed before the holidays was The Gingerbread Man and after painting diyas and creating rangoli patterns for Diwali, playing with dreidels and painting menorahs for Hanukkah and singing along with all kinds of holiday music, we had the opportunity to make and decorate gingerbread cookies. Judging from the smiles as students licked the icing and gobbled down the cookies, it seemed as though this special treat was enjoyed by most everyone. Many students were eager to make cookies for siblings and parents but although our intentions were good, I think we couldn’t help ourselves because in the end not many found their way into backpacks. Several people passing by Area 3 came in to tell us how good our gingerbread smelled and to complement us on our classroom decorations. If you haven’t already seen the colourful linked chains we learned how to make, you won’t miss them when you’re in next because we intend to keep them up all year long. They are hanging from corner to corner in our classroom and we think they look quite festive and beautiful!
