Gingerbread House

Everyone be safe and stay warm!  Today is a snow day!

Here's a picture of our classroom door and story map we have been working on this week.

Gingerbread Science

We noticed a pattern in some of the traditional Gingerbread stories this week.  The gingerbread man was warned by the fox to be careful not to fall in the river or he might "crumble to pieces".  So, we wondered, is the fox just being sly and lying or does would the G.B. really crumble in the water?  

Our experiment:  Predict.  Then, submerge a gingerbread man under the water. Observe.  Reflect on what we learned.

Ask your child what happened!  It made for an exciting afternoon!

Run! Run! As fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!

This week we kicked off our gingerbread man unit!  We'll study traditional and modern versions of this fun folktale.  We will be comparing the many versions of the gingerbread man story using a story map to ensure our comprehension of the stories.  

Today, we created our gingerbread boys and girls!  These cuties will be decorating our hallway very soon!
