Christmas Week

This week I plan to have the kids do lap books about the Gingerbread Man. It's one of Finn's favorite books so I'm hoping it'll hold his interest. We'll make gingerbread play dough, gingerbread cookie mixes for gifts and gingerbread cookies (maybe...I'm not a fan of gingerbread). The week after Christmas we're going to talk about the Italian legend of La Befana. Here is a list of the links I'm going to be using:
