Ornament Making
Ornament Making
Grade 5 will be making cinnamon and applesauce ornaments on Friday, December 18th from 1:30 – 3:00. We will need about five parent volunteers from each class to help with this activity. If you are available and have your clearances, please send your child's homeroom teacher a note or email to let them know that you would like to help with this activity. Also, please let your child's homeroom teacher know if your child is allergic to the following ingredients: cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, applesauce, or tacky glue. The ornaments smell great, but they aren’t edible! We are also need to borrow cookie cutters and rolling pins. If you are willing to let us use your cookie cutters or rolling pins, please put your name on each item with sharpie so that we can be sure to return everything to the correct owner. This is always a fun activity that the children enjoy!
