At the end of our Christmas investigations, we were invited to bake gingerbread men with Ganeen, our school chef. While the dough was raising in the oven we headed back to class to map out how we would decorate our cookies. A price list was decided upon for the individual pieces needed for embellishment.
Having read through many different versions of "The Gingerbread Man" we were only a little shocked to find Ganeen crying in the kitchen when we went back to the cafeteria to pick up our cookies. She sadly retold the tragedy. When she opened the oven minutes before our arrival, our gingerbread men ran right out of the kitchen leaving her and Tyron trailing behind.
We searched high and low and found 'ginger droppings'(bits of broken candies) leading us outside where our third grade reading buddies were waiting to help us in our search. They lead us up to their classroom in the Annex.
Kindergartners had t let the third graders know they couldn't decorate their cookies for free. They had to pay for every swipe of frosting and each piece of candy. teams were made and coins were dispersed. The five and six-year-olds got a chrash course in multiplication from thier buddies when it was annouced that every Skittle and M&M were five cents a piece.
