On the first day of this multi-day class students will dive into two magical wintery tales by readingThe Gingerbread Baby and Gingerbread Friends by Jan Brett. After reading the books we will compare/contrast the two sweet tales and look at the setting of each book to see if we can come up with some gingerbread house design ideas! After our books we will begin making house plans for our own gingerbread creations! Students will enjoy drawing out what their house will look like, what candies they want to use, and ideas for creating their ultimate gingerbread homestead! On the second day of this charming class students will share their house plans with each other and we will begin gingerbread construction! This class will be a less formal class having a "winter class party" feel. The students will get to talk together to come up with neat ideas for their gingerbread houses, sing songs, enjoy the merriment of the season, AND EAT SWEETS!!!!!
Learning Goals
Students will compare and contrast books, talk about setting, use imagination to design a gingerbread house, socialize with peers, and enjoy the merriment of the winter season.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome to Outschool! I am so very excited to be teaching here! Let me tell you a little about my teaching career! I started working with kids in High School and college as an After School Teacher, Camp Counselor, and Assistant Teacher. I began my 21 year teaching career in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades teaching all subject areas but specializing in Writing. After transferring schools, I began teaching 1st and 2nd grades and is where the remaining 15 years of teaching was spent. During this time I completed numerous classes perfecting my teaching techniques in Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies. I was also an Inclusion Teacher teaching ESE students in all subject areas! I am passionate about teaching and absolutely love integrating Language Arts into Science and Social Studies creating exciting and educational units that will create a lifelong love of learning.Reviews
