Over the past week we have been reading a variety of gingerbread stories including The Gingerbread Man, by Carol Jones; The Gingerbread Man, by Jim Aylesworth; The Gingerbread Man, by Karen Lee Schmidt; Gingerbread Friends, by Jan Brett; Gingerbread Baby, by Jan Brett; and The Gingerbread Man Loose in the School, by Laura Murray.  

We had a whole-group discussion comparing the characters in two different versions of The Gingerbread Man.  We also discussed how authors tell new stories using the gingerbread man after reading The Gingerbread Man Loose in the School and Gingerbread Friends.  On Thursday, the children decorated their own gingerbread person with Jenn and then told their own gingerbread story to Jenny.
