First Graders Make Gingerbread Houses

After listening to the story Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett, first grade students had the opportunity to make their own gingerbread houses online just like the main character Matti did in the story at Home Sweet Home. Once the houses were created, they were used as story starters by the children. The children were challenged to tell a story about the gingerbread living in their house. Many of the children wrote about boys and girls while others wrote about gingerbread animals such as elephants and bunnies.
