Gingerbread Week
We were also able to participate in a fun science experiment with our 6th grade buddies. We each got a cup of water and a gingerbread cookie. First, we recorded what our gingerbread man looked like when he was not wet. Then, we wrote and drew our predictions about what might happen. Finally, we dropped in the cookie and waited a few minutes to find out. We quickly discovered why the river was scarier than the fox! The gingerbread cookie was breaking apart and dissolving fast.
Early in the week we were greeted by a special friend. The Gingerbread Man came to rest in our classroom. Throughout the week, we spent time with him, but on Friday morning, he disappeared. We created missing posters in hopes that someone in the building would find him and return him to us. Sadly, he was still gone, but we found a clue in a note that he left us. These clues lead us on a hunt through the building, but we kept just missing him. Eventually, we found him back in our classroom!
