Gingerbread House Supplies

Thank you to everyone who sent supplies for the gingerbread houses.  We also used the third grade account to purchase the remaining supplies. We now have enough to make the gingerbread houses as well as make some Christmas trees.  The students are quite excited about this!

Important Information and Revised Dates

The Christmas season is officially here!  Third grade has several extra activities planned for this month.  One of the activities we will do is have a store where each child can purchase items.  During the trip to the classroom store, each child will have the opportunity to use math skills in a real life situation.  We plan to provide a variety of fun trinkets.  We would also like to include some food items.  If you would like to contribute items such as snack cakes, small bags of chips/pretzels/crackers, gum, gummy fruit, etc., we would appreciate it.

We will also be constructing gingerbread houses.  If you can donate any of the following items, we would greatly appreciate it.
