The Gingerbread Boy

Over the last few days, we have been reading the story, "The Gingerbread boy".

Through our reading of the story, we have practiced many literacy skills, such as making predictions, using a picture to help us read the words, and retelling parts of a story. 

After exploring with the story, students had the chance to use different materials to make their own Gingerbread people. 

Here are some pictures of students using a checklist to independently build their own Gingerbread:



 
 

After building our Gingerbread, boys and girls had a chance to talk about the details on their Gingerbread with a partner and draw it in their journals. We used our checklists to remember that our Gingerbreads all had special noses, mouth, buttons, gems and ribbon/icing. You can ask your child what colours their Gingerbread had!
