Students created a gingerbread Stony Point dragon. Their first clue to the morning's activity was the daily schedule--the activity was written in international Morse code. Enterprising students decoded it to read: "Gingerbread." Excitement! While the kids were in gym, Ms. Fan (who volunteered to come in and help, yay!) and I brainstormed on ways to create a gingerbread dragon. I had already prepared the dough and icing. We agreed on a plan, organized it, and launched. Ms. Fan sketched template models and the kids were then assigned parts. The building began! Above: the main body under construction. Scales being created. After 2 collapses, we shored it up and added the final touches--the dragon came to life!
