Building the Gingerbread Village 2011/Our Own Houses

Each student got to make their own smaller house. It took five squares of graham crackers and two pieces cut into triangles to finish the roof.
We built the house around an empty milk carton from our school lunch.
It took patience to work to get the roof to stick together.
Next, each student picked out the candies they wanted to use on their house.
Everyone's house came out different, but each very creative.
Look carefully at the roof of this house. He made a cool tower with his smarties.
The construction and decorating was fun, but the part when you had to lick your fingers was even better.
Good job !
It got a little messy.
Sometimes it was a challenge to get all the candy to fit on the house.
Good job !
A masterpiece in the works.
Good job !
It looks like all the candies fit on his house.
This was a fun project.
When the small house was finished it had to be placed on the table.
Putting on some extra touches.
Creating an outside to each house like a driveway or a yard.
During math one day each student had to evaluate their own house and determine the amount of candies they had used.
When all the houses were finished it was time to add some sprinkles.
We also added coconut and dry powdered sugar to make it look like snow.
All of this fun work turned out to make a beautiful village. We had lots of visitors from the other classes at school. They liked what we had created and we were proud of our Ginberbread Village.
