I teach a 4 yr.old Pre-K class. We will be making gingerbread cookies on 12/30/04. When we go to the kitchen to get the cooled cookies at snack time one of the gingerbread men will have "escaped" and be missing! We will look for him, but will not be able to find him! I need picture postcards sent from as many states as possible telling the class that he was spotted and that he asked that the writer notify us that he is OK and having a great time.
As postcards come in we will place gingerbread man stickers on a map of the US showing the locations of the "sightings". We will graph the number of cards we receive from each state, and try to learn about new places by looking at the pictures on the cards.
If you place your name and address on the return address spot on the card, I will send you a letter when we finish the month's study and let you know how the unit succeeded and the total number of cards received.
We will try to "trap him" around the end of Jan. by baiting a gingerbread house with plenty of candy to lure him home! (Of course, he'll show up after a couple of days!) Now the only question is: What will the children want to do with a widely traveled gingerbread man when he finally comes back?! Eat him? Free him to run again? What do you think?
