Here are some of the activities we did this week.
J practiced her ordinal numbers and listening skills by completing the word Gingerbread. She had to listen to the directions such as color the fifth letter blue and complete the tasks. This free printable was found at Caitlin Clabby's TPT store.
J practiced her an family words using letter tiles from a Scrabble Jr. game. I gave her several letters and she had to determine if they were actually words. She then copied them onto the lines. This printable was found at Making Learning Fun.

J worked on her skip counting by 5's. This was a great review since we were working with skip counting in her math book. She had to cut out the numbered gingerbread and glue them in order. She worked to 100 by 5's. This free printable was found at First Grade Garden.
Here she is working on a present for her big sister Keke. This is super cute. She colored a gingerbread house and I cut out a plastic wipe lid that will act as the door to the house. J will glue a picture of herself inside the door.
It isn't complete yet but it turned out cute. We just have to add a picture of J inside so she can take it with her to college. This great idea and free printable came from Alpha Mom.
J worked on her number recognition using gingerbread numbers. She would choose two gingerbread cards and make a number. Then she would color the number on her hundreds chart. I found the gingerbread number recognition from .... sorry, I lost the link (I hate it when that happens). We worked on this all week, trying to color in most of the numbers in the 100 chart.
J practiced her graphing with a cute game from Teaching Heart Blog. We took turns rolling my die and coloring in which picture turned up. The rolling pin won, in case you wondering.
J worked on a cute emergent read about the gingerbread man. This was a free printable from Deanna Jump's TPT store. She always has the cutest stuff.
We played a simple reading game where I hid a small gingerbread man behind one of her words on the chart. She would read each word and if she read it correctly, she would pull the card to see if the gingerbread boy was hiding behind it. I made this game by using a gingerbread graphic and printing the houses on colored paper.
J then worked on a cute printable page where she drew what she would look like as a gingerbread girl and what her house would look like. This free printable was found at Caitlin Clabby's TPT store.
Another writing project, we worked on a Ginger Boy book, in the fashion of Brown Bear. It starts Ginger Boy, Ginger Boy what do you see.... J came up with all of the pages and illustrated it as well.
We played the T version of Candyland during lunch and several times after dinner. As a family, we are going to try to spend a few minutes after every dinner to play a family game during the month of December, just to encourage spending time together, having an older teen/adult sometimes makes this difficult. So far we have played Candyland and Pretty Pretty Princess. My DD (older) has not even balked at this idea. Wow!
J played a gingerbread game from StarFall online. This was a simple game where you could change the shapes and colors of the gingerbread's features.
Please feel free to visit my Gingerbread Week pinterest board for ideas for your own theme week. I have pinned some great activities around the internet, all free and easy to reproduce. Don't be discouraged if this looks like a lot of activities. We worked on this theme for the whole week and I didn't stress if we didn't get done. The idea was to have fun.
