It's time for the annual Gingerbread Man Exchange! Each December, wonderful Pre-K and Kindergarten classes have been mailing paper creations to each other and learning a little geography in the process. If you would like to participate this year, the deadline to sign up is November 27, 2015.
The gingerbread men must be mailed between December 1 and December 3, 2015. Gingerbread men may be decorated with glitter, yarn, fabric, stickers, markers, crayon, paint, etc. (no candy or food items.) Please include a short note from your class and if possible a photo of the students. You will mail one gingerbread man to each class on the list you sign up on. You should receive one gingerbread man from each of the classes on your list.
If your class would like to send out and receive 12 paper gingerbread men, sign up HERE.
If your class would like to send out and receive 20 paper gingerbread men, sign up HERE.
You may notice that there is an extra sign up slot on your list, that is because your class will not be sending a gingerbread man to your own address.
When signing up, PLEASE LOOK to see who has already signed up on a particular list. Everyone wants to send and receive mail from as wide a variety of places as possible. Try to sign up on a list that does not yet have a school from your state signed up. (For some states like Georgia and Texas, this in unavoidable because we get a big response. Let's try to limit each list to two schools from these states.) Please don't sign up more than one class from the same school on the same list. I will be checking the sign up to see if it is filling up and we need to add additional lists. YOU CAN edit your own sign up if you realize that you provided the wrong zip code, etc.
If you would like to Skype in addition to the mailing project, please put that information and your email address under your address. That way, other teachers on your list who wish to Skype with you can contact you.
Have Fun!
