Met expectations

Great value

My second graders loved this resource! It provided many different Gingerbread story options for me to gather and read and included many that I already own. It also was in a kid-friendly set up so students knew where to write about for each book. It also came with sheets for students to compare and contrast the stories and sheets for students to explain which one they liked the best and why. It's my students favorite ELA winter activity!

I can not say enough about this resource. It was a great addition to our gingerbread unit in December. My students loved using the journal to document each story we read. We really loved comparing and contrasting the stories we read. The journal pages sparked so much conversation in our classroom. I highly recommend using this product if you do a gingerbread unit in your classroom. Thank you for creating and sharing.
