Fifth Avenue Elementary School Students Get Into the Holiday Spirit

Fifth Avenue Elementary School first-graders recently invited family members into their classrooms on Dec. 14 for a holiday activity.

Students created their own gingerbread houses with the help of their loved ones.

Each student had a gingerbread house kit made of foam pieces and decorations, which they assembled and decorated to their liking.

The whole first grade participates in this activity every holiday season.

The kits are used so that students can save their house as a keepsake for as long as they want, unlike with food pieces. It also allows those with food allergies to still take part in the activity.
