Today we read Jan Brett’s The Gingerbread Baby. We stopped along the way and predicted what would come next in the story. I reminded students that entertainment stories are fiction, so some of the responses got pretty silly which made for great laughs. The students enjoyed writing their predictions on their desks and leaving journals tucked away.
We wanted to be just like the character, Mattie, and make a gingerbread house, so… WE DID!! The kids went nuts and were thrilled to take part in this. We will recap the making of our gingerbread houses tomorrow and write an informative article on how someone could make their own based on our steps.
