Run as fast as you can; you can’t catch me — I’m the Gingerbread Man

Date:

Grade 2 French immersion students at ERWBB are on the hunt this holiday season after a mischievous classroom craft took on a life of its own.

After reading Gingerbread in Disguise, students created their own disguised gingerbread characters — but sometime after, the cookies mysteriously “escaped” and have since been spotted hiding around town.

Over the break, students will search for the runaway gingerbreads and record their sightings on a chart so teachers Mme. Millar and Mme. Tesluck can round them up in the new year. If a student finds their own gingerbread, they’re encouraged to snap a selfie and send it to their teacher.

A light-hearted project turned community adventure, the hunt has students watching closely in hopes of bringing their gingerbread creations safely back home.
