Gingerbread Man Stories
Students in 1L are beginning an author study on Jan Brett and recently studying her Gingerbread stories this month!
We have watched some "about the author" films describing Jan Brett, and noticed some of the beautiful things that she does as a writer and illustrator. As we continue to explore this author as well as the gingerbread stories this month, feel free to do some at home exploration with Jan Brett's Website.
We will be using her stories as mentors in writing and reading!
We will also be looking at various versions of the gingerbread stories. We have quickly noticed that the fox doesn't always outsmart the gingerbread girl or boy!
With this in mind, students will be bringing home a homework activity today where they will be asked to disguise the gingerbread girl or boy so that the fox doesn't eat it! Much like our "disguise the turkey" activity from November, have students use materials to disguise the gingerbread girl or boy and then have them write a brief persuasive piece that convinces the fox not to eat him or her base on their nifty disguise!
Love,
Mrs. L
