<p>David's class is starting a unit on the gingerbread man. During the unit the gingerbread man is going to run away and travel to far away places outside of Houston. His teacher has requested our help in getting friends and relatives to mail picture postcards telling about a sighting of the gingerbread man. They are going to track the gingerbread man's travels on a map to see where he has been.</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>If you have a moment and can help by mailing a postcard it would be very much appreciated. They will be tracking the postcards up until December 16th.</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>Please include "David" on the postcard so his teacher will know whose friend or relative it came from.</p>

<p>Dear David &amp; Mrs. G's Class,</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>The Gingerbread Man was seen running in the mountains of Phoenix, Arizona!  See the mountain on the postcard?  The Gingerbread Man was <span style="text-decoration: underline;">there</span>! </p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>The rattlesnakes, coyotes, and bobcats all wanted a bite of him, but luckily he was too fast.  I heard him say, "You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!" </p>

<p>Your friend,</p>

<p>Michelle</p>
