Mt. Ginger

     Welcome to our gingerbread community, Mt. Ginger!  What a blast it was using patterns and symmetry to design the houses for our gingerbread village.  The children did an amazing job of following two simple rules during construction... Rule 1) Nothing goes on the floor  Rule 2) Nothing gets eaten.  Believe it or not, they did it... with the exception of a few runaway Skittles and M&Ms!  :)  I am, once again, so very proud of them.


     I figured out how to make a slideshow of the few pictures I took.  All the street names (and the community name) were thought up by your fabulous first graders!  They used the materials in the village as their inspiration for their ideas.  After the children worked in small groups, they chose their favorites... I hope you enjoy this short presentation of Mt. Ginger!
