The Gingerbread Man

Ash class has had a lot of fun enjoying the Gingerbread Man/Boy story. We have read many versions of it and the children are retelling it using the felt board props. We also read the book, "The Gingerbread Girl." They are drawing Gingerbread men and writing about their favourite parts. I will be orally telling them a Norway folktale called The Pancake, which has the running theme of the Gingerbread Man story. We have also been looking at rhyming words and trying to rhyme everything we can, with the word man! Start playing rhyming games with your children - It is fun and great for language development.
