Samantha, Abby and I taste the gingerbread cookies the gingerbread man brought us because he was afraid we wanted to eat him. (WE DID WANT TO EAT HIM!)
The PM Class and their gingerbread man.
Getting ready to eat that runnaway fellow! It was covered in plastic when the custodian brought it in. One little friend said, "don't take that off! He will run away again!"
The AM class and thier gingerbread man.At the begining of each school year, we make a gingerbread man and he runs away during recess. We spend the next week looking for our gingerbread man. The objectives of this week include: familiarizing ourselves with our school environment, meeting the support teachers, staff and office workers, and becoming excited to come to school each day. Some academic gingerbread man activities include: writing a letter to our gingerbread man, cutting (yes, believe me, we need scissor practice), reading gingerbread man books, graphing and other math activities. We also use deductive reasoning to come up with plans to catch our gingerbread man. Our ideas come from books and personal experiences. We were so thrilled when our custodian had an idea: he dressed up as a gingerbread man and "caught" our gingerbread man and brought it back to us!
