Gingerbread Fun!

We started the week of by reading The Gingerbread Man using the Text talk version discussing all the story elements.

Next we read Gingerbread Baby

Next we reviewed syllables with our gingerbread men.

We became Scientist and found out that our gingerbread man did not survive the water!

We had a blast watching each other eat a cookie.

Thanksgiving feast preparation:

We prepared for our feast by creating our table clothes.

The students first used a measuring tool to find out how long the table was. They then had to roll out paper and use their measuring tools again to cut a long enough piece of paper for the table. Then they had to recheck to make sure they were right. After that was done they could then draw and color Indian symbols on the tablecloths.
