During the month of December we have been studying a Gingerbread Unit. We have read The GIngerbread Man and The Gingerfbread Baby. The students enjoyed retelling both stories using puppets. We have compared/contrasted the two stories using a Venn Diagram, as well as discussed characters, setting, problems, and solutions. The children's favorite activity was baking gingerbread men and decorating them. We discussed two new vocabulary words while cooking: spatula and ingredient. The students made their own gingerbread men books to take home. Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season and I look forward to seeing all of my students in January.
