Today I had the chance to visit Logan's class, to see what is happening with our Gingerbread friend and give you all a little update! Logan's teacher, Ms. Baldwin was blown away by all of the cards, notes and pictures that Logan received from all over the world! We are all so grateful to all of you who took the time to send something for the kids to enjoy. So, here is how it works...
When the kids get a new card or note (Ms. Baldwin "delivers " a few each day.), they first make a note of the location on their map.
Many of the kids have family and friends in the US, so there are plenty of sightings stateside.
Europe was well covered (Thank you!!!) and even a few in Asia and Africa.
There were a couple of sightings in Canada, which are all from you guys, and one in Alaska, who is just barely hanging on to the map.
And check out Down Under!! Y'all, every single one of those is one of my readers!! You guys are amazing!! I think Gingerbread Boy likes your balmy summer weather.
Each child also has an individual logbook, where they record the Gingerbread Boy sightings. Logan is showing you his.
After that, the cards go into a binder that the kids (and parents) can peruse. Over half of the cards in the binder are addressed to Logan! You guys rock!!!
Here are just a few of the cards and letters that Logan's class received. I blurred identifying info, but I bet some of you can spot yours!
I really enjoyed looking through all the cards and notes. You all were so creative! I loved all the descriptions of what the Gingerbread Boy was doing, and the interesting sights he saw.
The kids also made Gingerbread houses, in hopes of luring him home. So far he's enjoying his travels far too much!
Here are Logan and Ms. Baldwin in front of the US map. She told me that the kids are really enjoying learning about new places and things from all of your cards. Thank you so much!!
