Today was a day in kindergarten my friends will never forget. We made a "real" Gingerbread Man in class and when we were finished we voted if our cookie was going to be a boy or girl and what it's name should be. Next we had to go to our 5th grade buddies class for our buddy time with them so to ensure it didn't run away, we put it on shelf in one of my cabinets and tied it shut with red ribbon. When we walked back to our class after buddies, we found our classroom garbage cans all tipped over and the cabinet door swung open with cookie crumbs inside. The gingerbread man had run away but left us a note explaining that he was off to explore at Olive and then our hunt began....we had to try to catch that gingerbread man! We went on our hunt with Mrs. Martens' class because their gingerbread man had run away too. We always say "Teamwork is the dreamwork!" We decided to look for our cookies together. After looking all over the school, we came to our last clue in Mrs. Pemberton's and Ms. Davis'office. He explained how much fun he had visiting our school but that he had to leave and left us some gingerbread cookies to eat instead. It was such a fun day in K-1 and K-3! Here are some pictures from today:
