First Graders Enjoy Holiday Cookies
Our second read-aloud was Christmas Cookies: Bite-Size Holiday Lessons by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. It is a charming book of life lessons for kids with a holiday theme and a focus on the act of baking cookies. Our students learned many new vocabulary words with this book like perseverance, charitable, reciprocation, traditions, and sharing. The best part of the lesson was getting to sample cookies at the end of class! Finally, students took the recipe for cookies that was included in the Rosenthal book home with them. It is included in the link below. Enjoy!
