Run, run, fast as you can.......


Run, run fast as you can...you can't catch me.
I'm the gingerbread______.

I read several gingerbread "people" books to my pre-k class in December. We read a different one each day and these are my favorites!
The Gingerbread GirlThe Gingerbread Man (Mixed media product) Gingerbread FriendsThe Gingerbread Man Loose in the School

We decorated individual gingerbread houses and people in my pre-k class.
My brother planned for us all to make gingerbread houses at our day after Christmas celebration.



I made gingerbread play dough and gave each of my students some with a cookie cutter and a traditional gingerbread man book.
