Gingerbread transformation day in first grade was a blast! The students visited different centers through out their day. Some centers included making a Santa number bond, sequencing and reading "how to make gingerbread cookies", playing gingerbread snap with sight words, and making gingerbread people with homemade play dough. Also, thank you to fourth grade for helping with making gingerbread cookies!

Students in Mrs. Krug's 3rd grade class were given the opportunity to learn about the Art of Yoga and try out some poses. BV's very own Ms. McCauley is a licensed instructor and gave us a great Yoga class! Everyone enjoyed this relaxing time!
