Gingerbread House Making Tradition Share

Yesterday I shared my classroom tradition of making a gingerbread house with my students every year at the beginning of December.  We have been reading various versions of the Gingerbread Man stories.  The kids have enjoyed comparing these stories, talking about the characters and settings within the books, and finding text-to-text connections within the literature.

Here are a few photos of the kids working together to decorate our gingerbread house.
