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, locked it in the bathroom, and put many chairs against it so it couldn't get out of the door. When we walked back to our class after buddies, we found cookie crumbs scattered all over the kindergarten hallway, the chairs were flipped over. 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! I will post pictures from both classes fun gingerbread hunt below (morning first and afternoon second).
Here are some pictures from the morning gingerbread hunt today:
Here's pictures from the afternoon gingerbread hunt:
Before we made our gingerbread man in both classes, they had so much fun decorating their painted gingerbread cookie with oil pastels. I told them to be creative and turn it into whatever they wanted it to be. I loved seeing all their gingerbread creations! They turned out so cute!
Here are some pictures during our buddy time with both classes too. They LOVED having the time with their buddies before the big break and showing off what good readers they are becoming by reading their book bag books to them!
What a fun day in kindergarten but now I think I need a NAP!!! Haha!!! 😴
