The Gingerbread Man Goes to Kindergarten

By Joyce Kramer

If you are a parent of small children these stories will tell you what is, and is not acceptable in a typical Kindergarten classroom. If you are a Kindergarten teacher you will be quite familiar with the antics of five or six year old students. If you are a Kindergartener these stories will sound like some of their own classmates. In other words this is just the way it is! The stories included in this book took place in a real Kindergarten classroom. The names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Ellie Kurth, the illustrator for The Gingerbread Man goes to Kindergarten is an 8th grader and a student at Pleasant Valley Junior High School in Bettendorf, Iowa. She is also the Joyce Kramers Granddaughter.

Joyce Kramer

My fascination with history started when as a little girl, I would play for hours in my Aunt’s attic. It contained many “treasures” from the by gone days. I would look through her old photo albums and try to think what life must have been like way back then. With the imagination of a five year old, I transported myself back in time where I’d be riding in a horse drawn carriage or wearing the long dresses of a Gibson girl of the 1800s or the short, spangled dresses of the 1920s flapper. There is also my love for the water. Having lived my early life on the shores of Lake Erie and also living on an island, water and boats are essential to my happiness. All of this sparked a fire which has burned within me my whole life and it hasn’t diminished one bit. I love putting myself on the banks of our rivers and becoming an early settler or a pirate or a woman trying to survive in a sometimes hostile world. I also love to do the research and uncover little known information to enrich the stories. I feel like a cold case detective, something which, if I could, I’d love to be.
