We compared and contrasted three versions of the Gingerbread man
The Gingerbread Man By Jim Aylesworth, Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett, and Gingerbread Friends By Jan Brett then the students created their own Gingerbread person or animal and wrote a refrain to go along with it. This is where their creativity really came into play!
This student made a Gingerbread Reindeer and it says:
"Dash, Dash
I'm a flying reindeer!
Try to catch me
And I'll give you a loud cheer!"
The kids made their parents cookie mix jars as a Christmas present. It tied in perfectly with our math unit on measurement and fractions. Here is the
ingredient tag. When you print make sure you select 3x5 index card.
The bow has the lyrics to "Up on the Housetop" and the chimney says "Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick."
Using cardstock and bows, the students made Christmas presents and wrote what they wanted for Christmas on them. They then put "to/from" labels on it.
My kiddos were super excited to get Christmas homework passes in their goodie bags. Free things that make them happy make me happy too :)
