Whew! I am so out of breath from all of that running! Are you looking for the Gingerbread Man? Well, I've got him right here! I ran & ran as fast as I could! And I caught him, I caught him! I knew that I would! Ok, I'm sorry for that :) Did I mention that Dr. Seuss is one of my favorite authors?

Anyway, I have a serious case of Gingerbreadman-Itis. So watch out! It might be contagious! :)

I am loving this time off but I am also looking forward to the school year. I know that my kids will love what I have in store! I made this HUGE ELA unit. It's so big I decided to go to the library to print it all. I paid 5 cents per page (over 100 pages!) and I put it all in a big binder along with the "stuff" to go with it.

Story Time:

These are the stories that I have lined up for the week:

Day 1: The Gingerbread Man by Karen Schmidt

Day 2: The Gingerbread Man Loose in the School by Laura Murray

Day 3: The Gingerbread Girl by Lisa Campbell Ernst

Day 4: Maisy Makes Gingerbread by Lucy Cousins
Can you see where I'm going with this one? :)

Circle Time:

I made a little Gingerbread Man doll to pass around during, "Who Stole the Cookie from the Cookie Jar?" There's a link to the pattern in the unit. I bought the supplies to make it from my local fabric store for about $5. I also plan to make a Gingerbread Girl.
