I loved this lesson in G-bear's class. They made a gingerbread baby and cooked it in the school's oven. When they went to get him out, he was gone! He had escaped. So, they wrote signs and posted them all over the school: "Have you seen the gingerbread baby?" "Please send him back to H's class" etc. (all in kindergarten-style phonetic writing). Then, amazingly, all these postcards started coming in the mail to G-bear's teacher. Postcards from all over the world, telling her that they had seen the gingerbread baby in their town!!! With each postcard, they found that town on the map. It is quite impressive, the map. Here it is when they were almost done receiving postcards.

okay, i want to do this. i can only imagine the excitement when that gingerbread baby was gone!
