It's Gingerbread Time!

We have started one of my favorite units, Gingerbread!  We are going to read various versions of the this whimsical story so that we can compare and contrast them. We are also working on telling the key story elements such as main character, setting, problem, and solution.  We have talked about new vocabulary words such as brazen, boasted, and sly.  We have a friend named Gingerbread Fred who has joined our class. Hopefully everyone will get to spend some time with him and complete a journal page for the class book we are making!  We are also hoping to earn the chance to build a foam gingerbread house just before vacation!  (I will be  asking for candy donations next week!) The students are very engaged in this unit and they are so excited to read the new gingerbread book each day!!
