Just before going on winter break, we invited our care buddies from Mrs. Lynch's room to watch us perform the winter poems we had memorized. Our buddies were a great audience, applauding and cheering after each poem was read. The fourth graders designed posters to use as backgrounds as a way to enhance their performances.
After the poetry was finished, we accompanied our care buddies back to their room where we helped them decorate gingerbread people. Our fourth graders has already worked on decorating gingerbread people in a different way. They were asked to research a country or region and then dress their gingerbread person in the style of clothing worn there. Unfortunately, they weren't edible like the ones we got to make with our care buddies. The process of putting on frosting, chocolate bits, and sprinkles was messy but fun and the finished product was creative and tasty. It was a great way to end the day before vacation.
