Thank you to the parents for helping with this project!

During our unit on Winter, we made snow ice cream! We got 8 cups of clean snow from the courtyard, added a can of sweetened condensed milk and a tsp of vanilla and mixed it all together! The fresh snow was very fluffy and it became more of a vanilla milkshake but the students still thought it was yummy! We are in our pajamas because we did are homework each night and earned a pajama party!

During our unit on Fairy Tales, we made a gingerbread man! Ms.Nancy baked him in the school kitchen but when he was cooling, he ran away! He is running around somewhere in the school and hopefully we find him!
