Gingerbread Houses
Thank you to the parents that have sent back permission slips for making the gingerbread houses. We have enough foil and graham crackers at this time as well!! Thank you parents who have volunteered to send in those items. We will make gingerbread houses on Friday, Dec. 14th from 11:30 to 12:30. Parents are welcome to come in and help with set up/making them/and packing them up for each child. Each child needs to bring in one can of vanilla icing for themselves and a bag of candy to share with the class. No individual sized candy please and no left over Halloween candy. Examples of different types of candy were on the permission slip sent home.
