Important Dates and A Peek at the Week (One Day Early!)

Next week is an A week (Library on Friday)

Gingerbread Houses

Our class will be making individual gingerbread houses on Wednesday, December 18th from 8:30-10:00.  If you are interested in coming in to help out with this fun event, all are welcome.

Each student needs to bring in one can of vanilla frosting and unopened candy (no peanuts or nuts) 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, etc.

Students can bring in frosting and candy treats anytime between now and Wednesday, December 18th. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
