I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving break. Thank you to everyone for bringing in stuffing. The students loved their thanksgiving feast.

Kindergarten Tradition: Gingerbread Houses I went shopping this weekend for our gingerbread houses and realized prices have gone up and I will not be able to buy all the necessary supplies for this incredible experience for your student for $28.00. I’m sorry for the change in plans, but please have your student bring in $2 for the supplies. This will be less expensive for you because I will be able to purchase exactly what we need. We will be making them Friday, December 9th. Parents will need to pick the Gingerbread Houses up on Monday, December 12th. The icing will harden, and it is recommended that it not be eaten. Your child’s Gingerbread House is a great keepsake that will last for many years. To save the gingerbread house, simply wrap it lightly in tissue paper, and then place it in a bag. The children will love to see their creation displayed year after year. If your child normally goes to afterschool, please come by and pick up your child’s Gingerbread House before school. I am in my room at 7:30. I would hate to have anything happen to the Gingerbread Houses in afterschool. Please make sure siblings do not take candy off these special houses.
