Gingerbread Shenanigans!

Run, run as fast as you can.

You can't catch me 

I'm the gingerbread man!

For the past week we have read MANY different 

versions of the gingerbread man story.

This version was one of our favorites because it had two chants.

No, no! 

I won't come back.

I'd rather run,

Than be a snack!!

We compared and contrasted the similarities and 

differences and learned the silly chant inside and out.

We also launched our Jan Brett author study which will continue into January with her winter stories.

  

                                                     

This morning was the culminating event to our gingerbread week.

We prepared and baked our very own gingerbread man.

We smelled the yummy smell of gingerbread 
using the same technique as a scientist.

We dumped the mix.

Cracked the egg. 

Added some water.

Finally we stirred and stirred.

Next, we formed the batter into a 

gingerbread man shape.

 Then added yummy decorations!

 He was so skinny going into the oven:)

When we went to check on him in the oven... he was GONE!

He left us a clue.

 We found him hiding in our bakery 

shop in the pretend oven.

He got soooo fat!!

Mmmmmm... he smelled sooooo yummy!!

His gingerbread friend was hiding in the 

discovery room in the train table!!
He tasted delicious!!

What a magically FUN morning!!
