Writing Celebration!

 We have been writing books about familiar places.  

As a culminating activity, we celebrated our author skills 

by opening our first bookstore.  

The store was packed full of shoppers buying our titles 

with their five dollar Gingy Bucks.  

Just check out these happy authors and customers.  

What a special time for all!

Mrs. Allchin ran over from the office 

to pick a best seller!

Our Out of State Adventure section sold out quickly!

 Mrs. Carnevale joined us too!

We Are Super Readers!!

We Have the Super Powers of Reading!

Each reader selected a Super Power
that they felt was their most powerful 

strategy when tackling challenging words and books.

It's the Most Wonderful Time...

Here are my little angels 
just before going on stage for our annual Holiday Sing.

The following day,
we welcomed our family and friends
to help us build a gingerbread house - or boat.  😄
Just look as these beautiful and creative designs!!!

Setting sail with dad's help!

This house came equipped with "electric strings." 

Better known as power lines.😁

Don't eat it yet!!!

Love this shirt - The Gingerbread Bandit is WANTED!!

Many thanks to this Pittsburgh Gingerbread Queen 

for making pastry bags of royal icing for each child!!

"This is like being in the Candyland Game!!"  Such a great day to be together and share the joy of creating with someone special!💕
