Gingerbread Fun!

Whoa!  There has been so much excitement in the past few weeks.  Here are some shots from the culmination of our gingerbread unit.  We first read the more traditional versions of The Gingerbread Man and then compared them with some more recent versions.  On the final day, I hid clues all around the school.  We then move through the school in three teams searching for and solving clues.  If the kids found the final "hidden" gingerbread, they got a card that stated they had found the escaped gingerbread boy.  I have done this activity MANY times.  This year, the kids were fantastic and fun.  I think it was my favorite time doing it.  The best part, however, might have been tasting the delicious homemade gingerbread people made by our very own Mrs. Fisher.
