Story time with "Mr. Pickles"

Retired teacher, Jim Bedard (also known as "Mr. Pickles") has been coming in to read to the kindergartners and they have been loving it! The kindergartners especially enjoy when Mr. Pickles' reads Mo Willems' "Piggie and Elephant" books!

The Gingerbread Man

This month we have read a variety of stories about the Gingerbread Man. The kindergarteners have acted out the story, retold the story, and compared the different versions. Kindergarten engineers imagined, planned, and tested out their traps to catch the gingerbread man so he wouldn't be able to run away. This is a sticky trap; the gingerbread man was lured to the trap by candy and then got his foot stuck!
