Group Meeting:  The gingerbread man knew that today was Birthday Day.  He brought us gingerbread cookies to have instead of Birthday Brownies.  We baked them in the oven and enjoyed them after our snack.

Story:  The story for today was Gingerbread Mouse by Katy Bratun.  A little mouse loses her home when the tree is cut down for a Christmas tree.  She follows the tree to a house and sees a gingerbread house in the window.  She catches a ride into the house on the tree as the family brings it indoors.  Will the gingerbread house be a good house for her?  Ask your child to tell you about the visitor that brings her a new house.

Large Group:  We practiced our program in the Great Hall standing on the risers.  The children are learning very quickly!

Snacks:  The children made a snack today using cheese cubes and strawberries.  They made a pattern of strawberry, cheese, strawberry, cheese to make a candy cane shape.
