Icing our Gingerbread Men

Run,run as fast as you can! Ms. Izard's Class caught the gingerbread man!

Gumball paintings

Students examined the works of artist, Wayne Thiebaud; particularly. focusing on his 1963 oil painting entitled, The Three Machines (shown below). Afterwards, we created our own gumball machines paying attention to shapes and colors. I'd say we did a pretty good job!

Gingerbread Man Hunt

We went on a crazy scavenger hunt this morning for a gingerbread man that was running rampant in our school! He left us clues that we had to listen to in order to follow him; finally leading us to a treat in the cafeteria. He had us go from our room to the library, Mrs. Jackson's office, the playground, Nurse Carrie's office, back to our classroom, and ending in the cafeteria. The kids had a blast "chasing him". Even though we never caught him, it was very nice of him to leave us a treat to eat.
