We had a very successful Gingerbread Day at our school! We read the story about the naughty gingerbread boy and how he ran away from the family who made him and some animals along the way. But he couldn't outsmart that wily fox!
Later we baked our very own Gingerbread man, decorated with marshmallows and gummies. And what do you know? The very same thing happened to us! We followed the Gingerbread Man's clues until we found him trying to get a taxi in Miss Heidi's office! But like the fox, he couldn't outsmart us. And he was delicious!
