***Sorry for any confusion regarding gingerbread houses. With being away Friday and a change in plans regarding house building, messages may have been mixed up. The plan is that on Wednesday morning we will be decorating gingerbread houses. One of our families is baking houses for the whole class! I will be providing the icing. Students need to bring their own (nut-free) candy for decorating. Thank you! 🙂

Unfortunately I was away ill today. However, a parent in the class just offered to bake the gingerbread houses for all of the kids in the class to decorate on Wednesday! Amazing! Thank you!

Thanks to this, students do not need to bring milk cartons and graham wafer cookies. Students will ONLY need to bring candy for decorating! Please remember that all candy must be nut free. 🙂

****Just a reminder about Operation Holiday Spirit 2016. Our class is to collect gifts/gift cards ($15-$20 dollar range) for GIRLS in grade 1/2 at the school we have adopted. I have been told that many students at the school we have adopted have difficulty using gift cards unless they are for Cornwall Mall or Tim Horton’s due to transportation. We are also collecting toiletry items including soap/body wash, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, hats, mitts, and gloves. There will be a box in the classroom until December 14th to collect donated gifts/toiletries.Thank you in advance for your generosity!
