The Great Gingerbread Search!

Ms. Riley forgot to close the door to our classroom over the weekend, so our gingerbread men were running wild all over SMS! They left us a set of clues to follow during our search, so we set out in two teams to find them all:

We raced around the school and found all four gingerbread men. Here are some pictures of Ms. Riley's team in action!! 

On Mrs. Craig's Phone...we think he was trying to call our classroom in the afternoon! 

Dashing through the halls 

On the Birthday Board! 

Hanging out with first grade's citizens of the world! 

Keeping an eye out in the office!

On Tuesday, the gingerbread men returned to their places on the cookie sheet...all except one, who met a quite unfortunate fate when Bob found him scurrying across the halls. He offered to give him a ride across the mopped floor, but before the gingerbread man could even realize what was going on...CRUNCH! Bob enjoyed a tasty afternoon  snack. He will be missed!

Gingerbread Men Antics

Our Gingerbread Men were all over our classroom this week! Here are a few snapshots of their antics: 

We also made our own giant gingerbread cookie as a class. Each of us made two decorations or a symmetrical decoration to add to our cookie to show their symmetry. The result was interesting to say the least!

Hey...who is that on our cookie's shoulder?! 

Gingerbread, Gingerbread, Where Have You Been?!

Here are a few snapshots of our gingerbread men's hiding spots this week! We were wondering what they were up to on our Snow Day...Bob says he swore he saw one run across the classroom when he came in that afternoon!

We can't wait to see what they'll do next week! 

The Twelve School Days Before Holiday Break

Over the weekend, Ms. Riley was baking a batch of gingerbread cookies for the holidays. They had baked to perfection when suddenly, four of the cookies hopped off of the baking sheet and took off running! They are now hiding all around our classroom and will be hiding in different spots every day leading up to our Holiday Break. It is our job to find them each morning in their hiding spots and make sure they aren't causing too much trouble!

These were their hiding spots today. Can you spot the gingerbread men?

We hope they don't have too much fun tonight!
