KinderLiteracy: The Gingerbread Boy 

We will compare and contrast the story with The Gingerbread Girl.

KinderMath: Compare Capacity
One of the activities the kids will do during this lesson is compare a small bowl of rice to a larger bowl full of rice. Which bowl holds more? Which bowl holds less? Using small cups to scoop out the rice, the kids will count how many cups of rice were in the smaller bowl compared to the larger bowl. 
Zero the Hero visits today...Day 60!

   Social Studies: Holidays Around the World
Leading up to our holiday break, the kids will learn about customs and traditions of the holidays around the world. Today we will make our passports and suitcases to be ready for our first destination tomorrow: Mexico for Las Posadas. Each day the kids will make a project that represents the country's holiday/tradition and come home with a full suitcase when the final destination has been reached!
