Next week is an week (Library on Tuesday)

Gingerbread Houses
Our class will be making individual gingerbread houses on Wednesday, December 18th from 8:30-10:00.  I am looking for parents to come in and help out with this activity.  If you are interested in coming in to help out with this fun event, please return the bottom portion of this page.

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.
We will also need boxes of plain graham crackers. Graham crackers will need to be sent in by Monday, December 16th so we can start putting the gingerbread houses together.  I am looking for 2 parents that can come in on Monday, December 16th to start assembling the graham cracker houses.
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.
