This week, the students learned the classic story of the Gingerbread Man and where the saying "Run run as fast as you can! You can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man" came from. After reading this story, we continued reading various versions of this tale, with some including pirates, cowboys, boys, girls, and ninjas. The kids have really been enjoying all of the different stories we have been able to read so far this week and the activities that were associated with them. We were able to tie in our curriculum and standards to fit this theme, and the kids were so happy to learn from this story. The kids had little instructions for tasks each day from the gingerbread, including those for sight word hunts, reading maps, finding clues, and, later this week, searching for gingerbread around the school. What a wonderful way to end school for the break!
