A friend of mine who is a moderator on another forum I go to needs some help. Here is a copy of the message she sent me:
I have a daughter who is a teacher at a large, local day care center. She has 14 three and four year olds in her room, and every year the center does a special event for them (for the next month or so).Monday, the cook will make big gingerbreadmen cookies for these children. One of them will jump off the baking sheet and run away. So...for the next month, this gingerbread man cookie, is going to be sending notes and postcards, telling about the places he has visited while he is on the run.
The goal is to get all 50 states, and as many other countries as possible. The teachers will use a large map to point out all the places 'gingerbread man' sends notes from. Since each year they have a new batch of children, this is the only year THESE kids get to do this. It's the first year my daughter, who is one of the teachers, has been in this classroom so she's very excited to have the opportunity to be involved.
If you, and any friends from different areas (globally) could send a picture postcard, showing the area you live in, or a note and a picture or drawing of a gingerbread man cookie it would be wonderful! It should be either a note FROM the gingerbread man, or a note from you reporting that you spotted him. It's a great learning adventure for the kids!
So far some friends of mine from Spain, Chile, and some other US States have agreed to send postcards/notes from gingerbread man, and I was hoping you kind members of CS would want to send your own too! :D As my friend mentioned, it would really be a great learning adventure for the kids, and is a lovely project as well.
If you would like to send your own postcard/picture/messages of gingerbread man from YOUR country, please post here or feel free to PM me so that I may give you the address where you can send your messages to :D (if you post here, I will PM you the address ^_^ )
Thank you very much, everyone, and looking forward to our participation in this fun project! ^o^ /
