Spelling words for 12/5-12/9 were sent home this week with a Santa Worksheet. Please see list at side of blog, List 8 December 5.
Next week we will not have a spelling list. Instead, we will have an informal spelling bee to review.

Gingerbread House Craft- 12/16/11
To celebrate the holidays, we'll make gingerbread houses on December 16. Here is a list of the needed supplies. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me via e-mail or phone at school.
To participate, your student will need the following items:
o One sturdy base to build the house upon (a cookie sheet or cardboard covered with foil)
o A box of graham crackers
o One premade recipe of icing (see below)
o Frame to support the house (please don’t exceed 8’x8’, a little cardboard box works fine)
o A variety of candy decorations
GINGERBREAD HOUSE ICING
1 lb. powdered sugar
1 tsp. cream of tartar
3 egg whites
1 tsp. cream of tartar
3 egg whites
Beat all ingredients until very stiff. Use as glue for assembling house. Icing will harden as it sits, so keep in an airtight container with a damp paper towel.
Helpful Hints: may take 15-20 minutes of beating and don’t get any yoke in it!)

Students in Grades 5 and 6 are conducting a 2 week food drive to help replenish the empty shelves at the Utah Food Bank. Please send non-perishable food items to school.
Each class that collects 150 lbs. of food will earn an extra 30-minute recess.
