Middle Country Kindergarten English as a New Language Students Constructed Gingerbread Houses to Celebrate Holiday Season

The Middle Country Central School District’s Unity Drive Pre-K/Kindergarten Center recently brought the classroom community together in the spirit of the season as English as a New Language (ENL) students and their parents participated in the holiday tradition of creating gingerbread houses. The families of Ms. Rudich and Ms. Canevari’s classes used frosting to stick together gingerbread pieces and assorted candy to build and decorate the houses and gingerbread cookie people.

The students exercised their Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics lessons to efficiently build gingerbread houses that stand on their own. Simultaneously, the students tapped into their creativity to decorate their houses and gingerbread people in an artistic and unique way.
