Designed to be used by children in their first six months of school PM Starters One and Two

When the oven door bursts open and Johnny Cake, the gingerbread man, escapes shouting I can run faster than you to everyone he encounters, the whole town takes up the chase. But Johnny Cake is not as quick as he thinks.

Reading and writing are the most important skills a child acquires during his or her lifetime--and it all begins in the early childhood classroom, where creative play, discovery and time to explore are at the heart of a developmentally appropriate and child-centered curriculum. Striking a balance between these often competing priorities can challenge even the most experienced educator.

Convinced that he can outrun any danger, the freshly-baked gingerbread man fails to appreciate that a very fast runner is no match for a very sly fox.

This packet, based on the story of the Gingerbread Man, is full of easy to use, step-by-step projects that will teach your students scissor skills, visual-motor skills, grouping, ordering, and spatial relationships. Finished products can be used for take-homes, bulletin boards, mobiles, gifts and more!

This is a delightful retelling of a beloved children's classic fable with detailed drawings and charming characters. Illustrations.
