Graham Cracker Cottage Craziness!

What a fun day we had this past Friday in gifted. We decided to embark on a Martha Stewart inspired version of gingerbread houses- making them out of graham crackers instead. Okay, so they may not have come together quite as smoothly as Martha's did on her show, but we had a blast building and decorating them nonetheless. This group of kids always amaze me with their ability to really dig into a task and make the most of the experience. I am so appreciative to have the opportunity to work with this amazing group of students and wish you and your families a wonderful holiday. Thank you all of your thoughtful gifts. I look forward to learning with my fabulous 4th graders in 2008!
Enjoy the slide show !
