Gingerbread Week

Run run fast as you can, it's time to catch up with the Gingerbread Man!

We had such a fun week last week with our Gingerbread Man unit.  Each day we read a different version of this classic tale then charted the characters, refrain, and ending to compare.
The books we read and charted were The Gingerbread Man, The Gingerbread Girl, The Gingerbread Bear, and the Gingerbread Pirates.

I have to also thank James for sharing Gingerbread Friends, and Alex for sharing The Matzo Ball Boy.

Also this week each student made a gingerbread kid of their own.

How cute are these!?

On Thursday we had planned on having gingerbread men for snack, but this little guy had another idea....

We got to the classroom, and our cookies were gone!  The Gingerbread Man was on the loose in our school, with our snack!

We began our wild goose chase for the cookies.

The first clue lead us to the library.

The second clue led us to the office, and they hadn't seen that pesky Gingerbread Man.

Where were our cookies!?

Of course...another clue...

that led us to the cafeteria.

Finley found it in the lunch line, and would you believe it...

this one led us back to our classroom!!!

Boy was it worth it!!!

Finally time to indulge.

That afternoon we made two charts:

Which part did you eat first?

And, Do you like gingerbread?

YES we LOVE gingerbread!!!

that elf made quite the mess in our block center.

Finally, thank you to sweet Chloe for being an amazing Star of the Week this week.

We all LOVED the Cookies for Chloe...yummmo
