On Monday we read the Gingerbread Man story.
Right after we finished the story, Ms. Bowdell got a phone call from our principal, Mrs. Alcodray, saying that the Gingerbread Man was loose in the school!
Mrs. Alcodray asked Ms. Bowdell if her and her class could help her catch the Gingerbread Man…
We said yes!
Here are some pictures from our journey to catch the Gingerbread Man:
Our first clue from the gingerbread man said to check the music room.

HE WASN’T THERE BUT WE FOUND A CLUE.
THE CLUE SAID TO CHECK THE ART ROOM.
SO OFF WE WENT…

HE WASN’T THERE EITHER BUT HE LEFT US A CLUE.
THE CLUE SAID THAT HE WAS SOMEWHERE THAT YOU CAN BOUNCE BALLS.
JANA WAS VERY QUICK TO SOLVE OUR CLUE:
“GYM!”, SHE SAID!
GREAT JOB, JANA!
so we went to the gym.
the gingerbread man was not in the gym, but he left us a clue that lead us to the lunchroom.

the gingerbread man wasn’t there either!
he said that he was going to a place where he could find a book… so we went to the library.

we asked the librarian if she had seen him.
she said no, but we found a clue from the gingerbread man!
he said that he was going to the office to play IN THE SPINNING CHAIRS…
HE WASN’T IN THE OFFICE BUT WE FOUND ANOTHER CLUE.

THIS CLUE SAID THAT THE GINGERBREAD MAN WAS VERY TIRED FROM ALL OF THE RUNNING AROUND THE SCHOOL.
IT ALSO SAID THAT IF WE ARE FAST ENOUGH, WE CAN CATCH HIM IN OUR CLASSROOM!
SO WE HURRIED BACK…
AND GUESS WHAT?!
WE FOUND HIM!!! 🙂Â


I *LOVE* JANA’S FACE IN THIS PICTURE!!! ^^^
