Gingerbread Man Craft, Close Read, and Writing

I was thinking about what sort of craft I wanted to do with my kids, and then it hit me...why not the GINGERBREAD Man {or Girl}?!  There is SO much you can do and so many great versions of the story out there, you'll not be wanting for stuff to do!  
 You can find my latest pack, Gingerbread Man on TpT {HERE}
The pack includes the patterns to make your own large, stuffed Gingerbread people for an adorable bulletin board. It also includes 18 writing activity choices 
-including one for each of the following versions:
Gingerbread Girl by Lisa Campbell Ernst
Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett
Gingerbread Man Loose in the School by Laura Murray
Gingerbread Cowboy by Janet Squires
I also included a short informational Gingerbread Close Read with two response pages!
Here is a preview of the pages included:

Who doesn't love Gingerbread?  Apparently no one in my class...they all loved it!

I also got our class gingerbread mean ready for our class exchange, sponsored by my friend, Jennifer at Simply Kinder!
If you'd like a chance to win my Gingerbread Man Pack, leave a comment!  If you can't wait, it's on SALE right now!! =)

  9. Our principal has shortened our celebration time and moved it to the hour of the day on our last day before break. This set would let us party a bit EACH day during the last week before break. I would love to win it as we are doing one or two gingerbread books every day next week.
