Ta da!!  This is how they looked when we were all done! We were so excited to eat them after recess.... but...
'
...when we came in from recess... they were GONE!!!  We think they ran away, just like in all the stories we have read about gingerbread men!. BUT... they did leave us a clue. The clue took us to the LIBRARY..

...then we found another clue that took us to the office ..
 
...then we found another clue that took us into the principal's office....

...and the clue we found there led us to the lunchroom...
 
... and the clue there led us back to Room 7!!  We were so excited to find our gingerbread men there!!  So we ate them!  They were yummy!

Gingerbread Men adventure

After reading many different versions of the Gingerbread Man story over the past week, we were so excited to find some real gingerbread cookies in our class. Mrs. Grant said we would eat them in the afternoon. However, when we came in from lunch time recess, we discovered that they had disappeared!!!  They had some kind of magical powers, and ran out of our room. We think they heard Mrs. Grant tell the boys and girls that they were going to eat them after lunch, so they ran out of our classroom!!!  

But they did leave us a clue as to where they had gone... and the clue led us to the library!  Mr. W. told us, yes, he had seen them, but he told them that food is not allowed to be in the library, so they left a note and took off!!

The clue took us to the office. Ms. Nagam said she had not seen them, they must have stopped by when she stepped out of the office.... but they did leave a clue, she said.

Off we went to the principal's office. Again, all we found was another clue. No ginger bread crumbs here, either!

Next we headed to the lunchroom.... and you guessed it... another clue.  But this one was encouraging... we guessed they might have gone back to our classroom!

YEAH!!!!  We found the gingerbread men cookies... and we quickly nibbled them all up before they could escape again!!   YUMMY!!!

Happy Holidays!!

Here's some more photos of us (from yesterday) eating our gingerbread that ran away…. but then came back!

Colin spelled EXIT on the light brite--- all by himself!  Way to go,
Colin! Good thinking!

The Christmas surprise we made for our parents…. we can't tell you what it is - because then it wouldn't be a surprise!  Merry Christmas!

We made a little treat for Santa's reindeer….. we will sprinkle this on the snow  by our house on Christmas Eve, and if the reindeer are hungry for a snack, they can eat our little treat we left for them….. if they're not hungry, they might just leave it for the other animals that visit our yard (bunnies, etc.)
