The Tale Of The Gingerbread Twins

I'm so excited to share this blog post with all of you! Over the last few weeks we have been spending time reading various versions of the gingerbread story. The characters we read about ranged from a gingerbread baby to a gingerbread cowboy and the settings spanned a forest in winter, the wild wild west, a busy city and many more.
We were so inspired by these stories that we joined a Gingerbread Family Collaborative with the help of our librarian, Mrs. Groden. We created our own version of the gingerbread story using an IPAD app called Little Bird Tales to share via Skype! Our original plan was to connect with another classroom in Pennsylvania. However since that did not pan out Dr. Quigley came to the rescue! We were able to Skype with him and share our story!

Getting ready for the Skype session...children sat with their partners
 and read over their pages

Connecting with Dr. Quigley! Each pair stood in front of the IPAD
and read aloud their page.

Listening while each pair reads to Dr. Quigley. Our Skype session took
place in the library.

The proud authors!


Now you can see the story we created by clicking on the "Little Bird Tale" below. We hope you enjoy it!!
