Mrs. Drake's Classroom

GINGERBREAD MAN

We used flannel board to retell the story of the Gingerbread Man.	We made our own gingerbread men using a variety of things: M&M's, sequins, stickers, glitter, and bingo dobbers.
We sequenced the story.	Using the pocket chart we played "Sweet Gingerbread Men Sitting on a Tray" to review reading our names. Pre-program gingerbread man shapes with each child's name. Laminate and put a small piece of magnet tape on the back. Recite the poem, "Sweet gingerbread men sitting on a tray. _______ jumped up and ran away." Place the child's name on the pocket chart in the blank. Have child come and identify the gingerbread man with the same name and have it "run away." Same poem can be used with numbers and site words.
These three children worked hard on putting this gingerbread puzzle together. It was difficult since we had no picture to go by. They stuck with it and finally completed the puzzle. I was impressed!
