Gingerbread Fun!

What a fun week of gingerbread stories and activities!

The children listened to many different 

versions of The Gingerbread Man stories.
Here are a few...

 

 

We continued with a compare/contrast study and  

learned that the characters changed in the different versions of

the story; into to a baby, a girl, and a boy,  and even friends,

but the chant remained the same...

Run, run, 

as fast as you can.

You can't catch me,

 I'm the gingerbread man.
Several of the stories were written by the author Jan Brett.
We will continue an author study in January
 using many of her winter stories.

We created our own Gingerbread houses on 

National Gingerbread day!

Mmmm... they look yummy enough to eat.
Making our own gingerbread characters was so fun too!

So many collage choices.

 

Ta-daaaaaaa!

The children engaged in many gingerbread math activities as well.
Counting cookies on the tray and finding 
the corresponding number.

 Adding gumdrops to gingerbread houses.

 Gingerbread playdough ten-frames.

We enjoyed the gingerbread activities so 
much that we didn't get to finish all of them. 
Maybe more to come next week:)
