Fun lesson around the end of the year

Hello world! We are going into our last week of school, hooray! (Not to mention my last week as a first grade teacher!!) This past week I had an offer from a friend to come and do a lesson with me for my kiddos! Um, yes please!!! Calling all the troops!! It turned out so stinking cute! 
She read them "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie" by Laura Numeroff. Then she had pre-cut about 15 parts of the story on paper and the students had to put themselves in order of how it happened in the story. We put them in a circle and let them have at it! She prompted them a little but they had it together! 
Then after they lined up in the right order, they got to go decorate their own cookie! They get so happy when they have any kind of little snack! They added food coloring to their icing. Once it was mixed up nicely, they put it on their sugar cookie and topped it with chocolate chips! YUM! They had a blast and I had fun getting to watch them from the sidelines. These kiddos are too smart- and are SO ready for second grade. ;) I will miss their sweet faces so much next year! :'(  

Here's a few pictures from the afternoon! 

Thinking about who is going first!
After they got all lined up correctly!! TOO CUTE! 
Now some cookie decorating fun! 

And there's Ms. Terry!!
