Gingerbread Houses

Gingerbread Houses

Our class will be making individual gingerbread houses on Tuesday, December 20th from 10:00-11:30.  If you are interested in helping out for this activity, a sign up sheet will be sent home next week.  We also will be needing 4 boxes of gram crackers to make the houses and aluminum foil for the base.  If you are able to donate to this event, feel free to send in the items with your son/daughter.

Each student needs to bring in one can of vanilla frosting and at least one unopened candy treat (no peanuts) to share and put on the gingerbread houses.  The more items sent in, the better the gingerbread houses will look!  Some candy treats might include:

• Gumdrops
• M&M’s plain
• Peppermints
• Skittles
• Hershey Kisses
• Pretzels
• Cereals
• Mini Candy Canes
• Licorice bites

Students can bring in frosting and candy treats anytime between now and Friday, December 16th. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks for your help!
