Gingerbread Day




Gingerbread in May? Certainly! We read several versions of the Gingerbread Man and spent some time comparing the events in the different versions. We then decided to make our own gingerbread man. We made the dough, rolled it out and decorated our gingerbread man with raisins. Noah's mommy helped us by taking our gingerbread man to the oven to bake. While he was baking, we read the Gingerbread Girl. Her story turns out quite differently than her brother's. She's a smart cookie!
After the story we went to get our gingerbread man from the oven, but guess what?!! He was GONE!!
Our gingerbread man left us a clue to find him. We chased him to the big blue barn on the playground, but we just missed him. We continued to follow the clues around our school and ultimately found him waiting for us on the table in our room! Of course we gobbled him right up. Delicious!!
