Run, Run As Fast As You Can!

This past week, we did a book study on the different versions of The Gingerbread Man. We read several versions of The Gingerbread Man and charted the characters, setting, and beginning, middle, and end of the story. These story elements are all in our kindergarten standards and this was a fun way to learn more about them!

On Friday, we decorated our own Gingerbread Boy.

We went to the bathroom to wash our hand to get ready to enjoy our hard work and when we got back to the room...HE WAS GONE!!!!

Where could he be??

He was nice enough to leave us a clue!

Then, he led us on a hunt around the whole school. People saw him here and there, but we only found crumbs and candy and clues that he left for us.


We had to be very quiet and tip toe so that he would not hear us coming to look for him...


The last clue he left was outside on the tree. BRRRR...it was cold!

He told us that he left a surprise for us in the room.

We sent Mrs. Cass in first to check out the room before we went in. She told us that she had to use her karate moves on him...:)

When we came in, he was all chopped up! He was YUMMY!



It was a great day! We had so much fun chasing after the Gingerbread Boy, but we still wonder how he came alive and is he still running around Dug Gap Elementary!

The Very First Thanksgiving

Each year, DGE Kindergarten puts on a production of The Very First Thanksgiving. The students did a wonderful job of acting and singing to remind us about the first Thanksgiving celebrated by the Pilgrims and Indians. I think we may have some future actors and actresses in our classroom.

Thanksgiving Feast

We had fun celebrating Thanksgiving like the Pilgrims and the Indians did. We dressed up, made placemats, and ate food that we thought they might have eaten at the very first Thanksgiving meal. We had turkey, nuts, berries, bread, popcorn, and apple pie. Yummy!
