Kindergarten Gingerbread Tours

The kindergarten classes at Merton and Van Meter worked collaboratively on gingerbread activities during the months of December and January. Mrs. McMahon and Miss McClintock read to their classes various gingerbread stories over Skype. Each student came up with their own version of gingerbread people. Some examples were a cowboy, Mario, princesses, and snowmen. We had parents make us gingerbread cookies and bring things to decorate them with. Afterwards we made a graph showing where everyone took their first bite. The legs were the winner.

We plan to share this with the kindergarten classes and talk about how our day is the same or different at Merton and Van Meter. ENJOY the videos of the gingerbread touring our schools.
