How are you doing mrs Shirley. Merry Christmas in advance. Thank you for your wonderful educational. You gives us creative ideas . As I told you before I applied to work as English teacher at kindergartens but unfortunately no jobs vacancies but I worked as tutor at home . I made some activities for my nephews and nieces . They are toddlers and preschoolers too . As I read ginger bread man carries moral lesson . There are several methods and activities for kids in early years aged at kindergartens such as read story gingerbread story together as in circle time ask children to put sequencing cards for events in right order . Fill up bowls with different liquids ( water , milk , oil ) and see if ginger bread floats in liquid for fun science . Ginger bread man story moral is slightly dark fable meant for children be carful who you trust . Ginger bread level pre k brief plot young boy and his mother bake gingerbread baby that escapes from their oven and leads crowd on wild chase . It’s similar tale to one tale not so clever gingerbreadman .
