This week we read The Gingerbread Man, and many of its iterations, some with different settings and endings. We do this to promote flexible thinking in children. This kind of thinking allows children to adjust perspective and embrace changing circumstances in their own world, modeling that there is more than one way to think about something. 

We also began talking about the different holidays coming up, beginning with Kwanzaa. We talked about the harvest, light and family aspects of the holiday and decorated a flag of green, red and black.
