Gingerbread Man Week


We had such an exciting week looking for the gingerbread man. We read the story "Gingerbread Man" on Monday. On Tuesday, we made our gigantic gingerbread man and brought him to the kitchen. We met the kitchen staff, saw the big ovens and mixers. We also got to look inside of the enormous refrigerator and freezer. On Wednesday, we went back to the kitchen to pick up our gingerbread man....but he ran away. He left us a note to check the office. We went to the office to find him. We saw Ms. Petersmeyer's office, Ms. Nelson's office, the copy machine, and the teacher's mailboxes, but we didn't see the gingerbread man. After meeting the office staff, we found a clue to look in the library. We found books, kids, library helpers, but no gingerbread man. We found a clue to look in the nurse's office tomorrow. On Thursday, we looked in the nurse's office and then we had to go to Galaxy Kids Club. We walked upstairs to check out the 1st and 2nd grade hallway. We also checked out the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade hallway. We had to wait until Friday to go to the speech room and we finally found him in Mr. Eliason's music room. During the week, we read different versions of the gingerbread man story including one about a Gingerbread Girl. We made headbands. We made a map of the places we went. Finally, we got to eat him!
