Dear Parents :
In class, we’ve been reading several versions of the "The Gingerbread Man." The last story we’ll read is "The Gingerbread Baby;" at the end of this story, the gingerbread baby is trapped inside a gingerbread house . We’re going to do a project that goes with this story . For this project, each child is required to have an adult come to school to help them ( it can be a father, a grandfather, an uncle or an older sibling. If you have an extra available family member, let me know, please! We have some kiddos who’s parents cannot get off of work and will need a helper). We will build and decorate a gingerbread house using cookies, candies and icing.
The project is scheduled for Friday, December 19 at 1:30 p.m.
To make these little houses , choose a few things from the list of ingredients and bring them to school before December 18.
Also, each child will need a piece of carboard (like the lid of a shoe box ) on which they can build the house and a few plastic knives to use with the frosting.
Thank you !
List of Ingredients
( choose two or three things to bring to school - remember there are 16 children and we will share all the ingredients ) . The top two are the ones we need the most of.
* boxes of graham crackers crackers
* White icing (in cans, for cake decorating ) –the icing CANNOT be " Whipped " ( this does not dry and the candies slide off the houses).

Skittles ( big bag)
