Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread Man!

We had such a fun week.  Our theme was gingerbread pals and we definitely loved bringing the theme to life. 

We made lots of really cute gingerbread crafts, I think the favorite was the gingerbread notebook.  We also learned lots of things; we used gingerbread pals to help us recognize our letters and match numbers to a gingerbread pal with dots on his tummy.  We also patterned and sorted our gingerbread pals.  We started counting by 10's and worked a lot rhyming and finding the rhyme in various words. 

I think the highlight of the week was learning the story of The Little Gingerbread Boy. I almost had a heart attack when Miss Jen said she had never heard it, It was my favorite story as a child, my Grandma had it on tape (yes I am that old, who knows maybe it was an 8 track, I am even that old) and I would listen to it over and over.  Anyway, we carried the theme over to our field trip where we acted the story out.  It was soooooo cute. 

 

We went to the Treehouse Museum for our field trip, we all had lots of fun stepping into our story.
