GINGERBREAD MAN!

Dear Parents,

Just to give you the heads up on our gingerbread...

We have been reading stories about the Gingerbread Man, Boy, Baby etc, and have been talking about the stories("Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread Man".)

Yesterday we made the little individual gingerbread boys & girls for our cuties, as well as a HUGE Gingerbread Man!  Luckily we were able to eat the little ones (and some are coming home for you to taste) and during snack time we threw the BIG Gingerbread Man in the oven to bake, but when we returned to class he was gone... he ran away!  He left us some notes to find and follow, and we found some crumb clues leading out of the oven, in our classroom, by the office and on to the playground.  Our cuties were very excited and concerned and really tried to find him but we found out from Ms. Rosita (and another note he left) that he is in a taxi to the airport to travel the world!  He left some pictures of him making mischief!  

The note said, "Dear Girls and Boys in Ms. Lynsey's Pre-K Class, Thank you for making me with your love!  I did not want to be eaten so I decided to run away.  I am going to travel around Singapore and then the world to have many adventures.  I will write postcards from places that I have visited and to let you know that I am ok.  Have a Merry Christmas and lots of love, the Gingerbread Man."

I just wanted to give you the heads up that the kids are excited and the Gingerbread Boy is off on an adventure!

So...

Now that I have a Gingerbread Man traveling the world, could I ask a favor (if you are able - OPTIONAL) that YOU (THE GINGERBREAD MAN) please send US (Ms. Lynsey's Pre-K Class) a postcard from the places that you are going to visit over the Winter Holiday and any other holidays for the rest of the year?  It can be a quick note stating where you are and an adventure you are having, signed from the Gingerbread Man.

Example:

A post card from Japan:  "Dear Pre-K Students in Ms. Lynsey's Class, I am here in Japan.  I saw Mt. Fuji and traveled on the bullet train - it went so fast, we went 300 km/h!  I ate some sushi and lots of rice.  I miss you!  The Gingerbread Man (or GBM)"

Please do not mention a certain time (like New Years or Christmas) - it will be hard to explain how he could be on a train in Japan and Skiing in the Swiss Alps on New Years the same day.  :)

You can send it to our class:

Ms. Lynsey HOWITT

THANK YOU in advance for your help and involvement!
