Strategy and Teamwork!

 The last day of classes before winter break brought a challenge to the AVID class.  Students were given 6 graham crackers each. Using provided frosting and candy students had to construct a gingerbread house in a mere 40 minutes before lunch.  Students could work independently or combine crackers with a partner to build a bigger house.  Check out the fun we had!
