Gingerbread Man Anchor Chart and More!

Thank you for all of your purchases yesterday, Cyber Monday.  I am home sick with the flu, but I am excited to check out my sales and respond to the feedback.  My sale is still going on as well as many of my blogging buddies.  Click {here} for my post on the sale and links to stores having sales until December 1st.

The feedback I am getting on my Common Core Gingerbread Unit is amazing!  Gingerbread seems to be all the rage right now.  I love the theme and the plethora of books out there (click {here} for my list of books)!  I also love how it is not full-on Christmas.  I have mostly students who celebrate Christmas in my classroom, but I have few who also celebrate other holidays.  I like to hang something in the hall for December that does not favor one holiday over another, so gingerbread men are perfect.

Click on the pictures to grab some freebies from my Common Core Gingerbread Activities Packet:

I thought I would share some of the other awesome activities I have found through blogging and Pinterest.  I waited until I finished my Common Core Gingerbread unit to start looking,  I did not want to be influenced by anyone else’s creativity.  And well, these ladies have some super creative ideas!  Click on the pictures to check them out.
Melanie of School Girl Style has created an awesome Gingerbread Party Pack!  I was so excited when I saw that she shared my unit on her facebook fan page.  Click on the picture to check it out.  I plan on throwing a Gingerbread Party this year!
Michelle Oakes of Fabulous in First just posted some awesome freebies from her packet!
Babbling Abby of the Inspired Apple has an awesome and free science experiment in her TpT Store:
Check out Deanna Jump of Mrs. Jump’s Class.  She has an adorable Gingerbread Experiment!  
She is just amazing!
Thanks for stopping by!  If you have an awesome link you would me to check out, please leave it in your comment.  I love comments 🙂

    I bought your Gingerbread Unit yesterday and I'm so excited to use it. We are not allowed to do Christmas at my school, so this is PERFECT! I know the kiddos will love it. =)

    Erica, thank you for sharing! I love this time of year; I collect all things gingerbread! My classroom is overflowing and the kinders are in heaven. Our gingerbread man (Panera Bread cookie–yummy) showed up today while they were in PE. Ah, the magic has begun!

    btw, I just saw the dog pics you have pinned and I think you need a teacup Maltese. 🙂

Students naturally seem to want to say “that’s ok. Students naturally seem to want to say “that’s ok.” to an apology but it is never ok to hurt a fellow student’s feelings, body, or to make them uncomfortable. 

“I accept your apology.” Is a good way for students to move past it if they are willing to do so. 

What do you have your students say?
