Our class read
the book, The Gingerbread Baby. We watched a video about the
author, Jan Brett, and learned how she wrote the book and drew the
pictures. She read the book aloud to us in centers so that we could
hear it again! After reading The Gingerbread Baby, we also read The
Gingerbread Man. The students told me things that were alike,
different, and the same, about these two books. Using a Venn
diagram, I placed their ideas on the board for them.

Using sentences
from the book that were enlarged and placed on sentence strips, we
cut them apart, traded them with a neighbor, and put them together
in the correct sequence.

We created two
Kidspiration activities to use with the book. One was a matching
activity and the other was a matching activity.
