Gingerbread

Create your own greeting

This week we have been learning about Gingerbread Men. We read a different story each day. The kids loved say the different quotes by each Gingerbread men. The Gingerbread Man said, "Run run as fast as you can. You can't catch me. I'm the Gingerbread man." The Gingerbread Girl said, "I'll run I'll run with a leap and a twirl. You can't catch me. I'm the Gingerbread Girl." The Gingerbread baby said, “Catch me if you can." The Gingerbread Cowboy said, "Giddy up, giddy up, as fast as you can. You can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread man. Finally the Gingerbread Kid said, "I'm the gingerbread kid. I'm as fast as can be. You can run, run, run, but you can't catch me!" We also have done several activities using the gingerbread me. We ended the week by decorating gingerbread house today. I hope you enjoy the slide show.
