Too Hot, Too Cold or Just Right?

This has been a super busy week at MCP.  Our preK students are having fun with some fairy tales.  We read The Gingerbread Man, The Gingerbread Cowboy, The Gingerbread Girl and Bad Boys Get Cookie!  After each story, we talked about how the stories were the same and different.  Was there gingerbread man?  Why was he running?  Did he get eaten and if so by who?

We read The Three Bears and Somebody and The Three Blairs (very cute book).  Each student also created a bear.  This was a scissors activity and the children are doing such a fantastic job cutting out shapes. It's pretty amazing.

Some glue and teacher directions and it's a bear! Papa, Mama or Baby?  You will have to ask your child :-)

In the art center, we have several stencils.  There is a gingerbread man, a bear, a house and a pig.  The children are creating their own gingerbread boys and girls.

Want to do more at home?  Make up some gingerbread dough and roll out your own gingerbread man.  Ask your child which story was their favorite.  See if they can retell you the story.  Visit the library for some Gingerbread Man books and The Three Bears.

Next week....The Three Little Pigs and more!
