Mrs. Shaw's Class Gingerbread Houses

We had so much fun today making our gingerbread houses. I wanted to share some pictures from today. I am also going to print a copy of your child posing with their completed gingerbread house and send it home one day next week so that you can have it for a keepsake. The students were very creative while making their gingerbread houses today and they all turned out very nice. They are currently on display in the Kaufman Library so feel free to stop by anytime and take a peek! The students will be bringing home their gingerbread house to keep some time during the last week of school before we get out for Christmas break.

Also, MANY thanks to all of our helpers today.....we had moms, grandmas, grandpas and even a sister come to help us........we couldn't have done it without you. Much thanks also goes to everyone that donated items for us to be able to do this activity today.......your donations are very appreciated! Enjoy the pics!
