Gingerbread Men Unit

We have been working on a gingerbread unit for the past two weeks.  We have read several types of Gingerbread men stories - including The Gingerbread Cowboy and The Gingerbread Girl - this was their favorite because she didn't get eaten in the end!)  We worked on what happened at the beginning, middle, end of each story.  We sequenced the stories.  We compared the Gingerbread Man to the Gingerbread Girl using a Venn diagram.  We discussed characters and setting.  Whew!

We made gingerbread ornaments that later had to be thrown away because 2 little fellas tried to eat them - imagine their surprise when it didn't taste very good (by the way, it was only made of applesauce and cinnamon). 

We finally made real gingerbread cookies and graphed what was eaten first - head, leg or arm.  These turned out yummy. 












Yummy!

Some serious decorating!
