Our first grade class was supposed to have a Distance Learning from the Puppetry Center in Atlantic Georgia. It was cancelled due to us having a two-hour delay because of icy weather. So we carried on by ourselves. We had learning centers all about gingerbread. We read two different stories on our level about the Gingerbread boy, worked with a Gingerbread story on the computer, made and clothed a Gingerbread puppet, took one bite off a Gingerbread baby cookie, graphed those bites by how many bit the head first, the right arm, left arm, right foot, left foot, etc... Most children bit the Gingerbread baby's head off first. Ouch! Good thing it is not real! We played a Gingerbread baby board game and had to follow directions if we landed on a spot with words. We also followed directions to decorate a Gingerbread boy. If our eyes were brown, we were to make two buttons. If our eyes were blue, make three. Etc... We had lots of fun. Our puppets were saying, "Run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me... I'm the Gingerbread man!"
