The Gingerbread Man has to be one of my favorite books to use at the beginning of the school year. It has all the things a teacher could want--predictable text, a few fun characters, the possibility to act it out...not to mention it's a cultural staple! (At least it is in America).
The temp has dropped considerably in Rome over the last few days. The change brings the expected common cold. We had a few absences at the schoolhouse today.
And then there were two...
So here's some of what I did with the adorable pair today...

They didn't...and that's alright. |
What's most important is that we made the gingerbread men talk.
