  • We did more with world changers
  • We got a special visit  from Peri! (Mrs. Belanger’s dog!)

Houses
  • In houses we got introduced to the gingerbread house project!
  • Each  student brought supplies to make their own gingerbread house in a group, which will be part of a bigger class gingerbread community!
  • We watched a video on a guy that made a huge city out of gingerbread in about 10 days for inspiration for our project
