Gingerbread Man Fun

What would the holidays be without a bit of magic?!  As some serious reading work to compare and contrast story features in several version of the tale of the gingerbread man, we set out to cook our own.  We followed a recipe to measure and mix then molded and decorated our own little man.  Since he was so large, we had to put him in the oven to cook for a long time.  When we returned to take him out of the oven the next day, we were shocked to discover only crumbs and candy pieces left on the cookie sheet!  After a day or two of searching and finding clues, Mrs. Bochansky, our librarian had a strange experience... she had candy pieces stuck in her shoe!  This led us to search the library and lo and behold, there he was sitting in a chair among the many versions of the gingerbread stories!  We still think Mr. Shepherd and Miss LaRose were somehow involved, as we found lots of crumbs and candy pieces in their classrooms!




Evidence on Mr. Shepherd's laptop and candy pieces in Miss LaRose's classroom!
