The kindergartners in Cris Cusati’s class at Smithtown Elementary School became gingerbread architects when they invited in a special adult into their classroom for a gingerbread house activity. Using graham crackers as their walls and frosting as the glue, the students constructed sweet treats filled with candy, marshmallows and more to enjoy over the holiday break.

Just in time for Thanksgiving, first grade classes at Smithtown Elementary School participated in turkey center activities. In some classes, the students used math equations to calculate how many feathers their turkeys would have. They cut out feathers, beaks, legs and showed off their artistic abilities. Other classes showed off their creative side as well, making turkeys using tri-colored pasta to represent the feathers.
