Gingerbread Fun!

Phew these days are flying by! I am SO behind in my posting! I’ll catch you up with a little gingerbread fun!

Here is a peek at our week from last week:

Literacy Centers:

The gingerbread lane ending sound activity is from Julie Lee’s Gingerbread pack.

 

Math Centers:

I loved this number word center when I saw it on Mrs. Mayas blog! I totally had to copy it! Thanks for the inspiration!

The kids LOVE the double dice!

Count the room.

And of course we read lots of traditional retellings of the Gingerbread Man/Boy.  The kids are having SO much fun with this!!

Here are some things we did in our reader’s workshop notebooks:

You can download these pages below.  I reduced them by about 78% so the kiddos could glue them into their reader’s workshop  notebooks.

We also have been comparing the characters and the endings of each story we read.  Here is a sneak peek of the retelling cards:

When I finish all of them, I will post them here!

And I just had to share this beautiful board that is across the hall from my classroom.  This was done by our amazingly talented reading paraprofessional.  She puts my boards to shame! ha!

I would love to read a comment if you download something here! They make me so happy Smile
