I'm such a good actress!
I should've won an Oscar Tuesday morning around 11:00a.m. as I opened my snack cupboard and the Gingerbread Friends jumped out at me with cookies, books and a note for us all. My students are convinced they "jumped" out at me, which is awesome! So I played dumb and told my class I forgot it was December 1st and should've known that the Gingerbread Friends would show up and surprise me like that because this is the 3rd year in a row that they've come to my classroom. I've heard from several parents that their child came home with exciting news ;-)
Tuesday after school I was thinking of what antics the G-friends could be up to and my inspiration came from a story I was going to have kids listen to at the Listen Center during our small Reading Groups: The Gingerbread Pirates. I quickly went looking for a teacher that had a play ship...but no luck. So I decided to make a ship in my garage and ended up staying up past midnight (I'm a glutton for punishment).

| Watching the Voice and building a ship! |

Arrrrrrrrrgh you inspired? If you're doing this fun experience during the month of December, I would LOVE to hear about what your G-friends do! My friend Stephanie in California's G-friend are on vacation tomorrow at the beach because behavior wasn't good today....genius! I should do the same maybe because 2 of my students stole most of the chocolate treasure right out of the boat. But they quickly ratted each other out when I discovered it and made a big deal of it.
