Each year in 1st grade we read just about every version of The Gingerbread Man. We practice skills of comparing and contrasting. Then we write our own version of The Gingerbread _____. Today we designed our Gingerbread characters and wrote our first pages. They did gingerbread cookie themed sight word writing. They did very active Gingerbread brain breaks and challenges. We had a Gingerbread man science experiment and the children had to build a bridge to “save” their gingerbread cookie from the pool of water. You will see pictures of them with masks down. They know they can slip it down for a quick picture and to eat!
The children got to enjoy eating a couple of cookies, too. :)
